My Vaio notebook had a problem in the AC jack and suddenly i noticed it wouldn´t charge properly. Also I noticed in that month the battery was not charging at all. As soon as the plug was off the notebook the computer went off and then I fixed the AC jack, but the battery seems to be dead. Is there anything I can do to try to recuperate it? Cause is quite new. I´ve been using this Sony PCGA-BP2NY battery for only 14 months. |

: Your battery is probably broken. Most notebook batteries contain multiple cells, and it is possible for one of those cells to get [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rechargeable_battery#Reverse_charging their polarity reversed], ruining the battery. This is pretty common. Get it replaced, under warranty, if possible. If it's no longer covered by the warranty, now you know why. —[[User:Leejc|Joe]] 14:52, 25 September 2007 (EDT) |

Laptop Battery Damaged?
My Vaio notebook had a problem in the AC jack and suddenly i noticed it wouldn´t charge properly. Also I noticed in that month the battery was not charging at all. As soon as the plug was off the notebook the computer went off and then I fixed the AC jack, but the battery seems to be dead. Is there anything I can do to try to recuperate it? Cause is quite new. I´ve been using this Sony PCGA-BP2NY battery for only 14 months. Hope u can help me. Thanks!--Sconinck 12:21, 25 September 2007 (EDT)
