hi. using a toshiba a300 satellite psag4a 20300m. and using jaws 11 standard, windows vista home preimum, 2 gb ram, 250 gb hard disk, 2.1 ghz processor. ati radium video card, real tech audio manager now in the system tray. i plug my calbe into the power socket. and had to take out the battery yesterday. yesterday and the day before about 7 pm. i heard the battery was shutting down and then got to 0. and it shut off. well it would not power on for 5 to 10 minutes. then decided to power up. now i check the battery metre using windows b. and arrow up to the battery. was saying 99% plugged in charging. now it is saying 1:39 hr left 91%. so wondering. is it possible that my battery is on the way out. any one had any problems before. so what to do? purchase a new battery. could it be the power pack, that could be a bit dodgy. well stupidly trod on the power cable, ripped out the power connector. and the shaft. but got a friend to repair that and solder it and put tape around it. it has been working fine for about a month. until i started getting this problem this week. what to do?
