Advent 4211 Charging problem

[Oj2k4]

Hey, Anyone out there got an Advent 4211 and had problems charging it? It seems to charge okay for about half an hour but then the light just goes off even though it's not fully charged.. the laptop is off + i switch it back on to see how much battery there is. I

t also happens when the laptop is on..n the battery is charging, it stops charging and the orange light flashes at the battery icon but when I remove the power cable and plug back in it just seems normal! Really annoying and considerin returning it Shame as it is a nice laptop bar this problem.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Hi there,

It could be a problem with the battery after looking around the MSI Wind forums and may need to be replaced (taken back to shop);

Ahh thanks for that, i did search around on those forums aswell but didnt find the exact problem/ maybe i searched at the wrong time ! The tech guys e-mailed me aswell n told me that it should be checked out. Not sure if i want another though..might end up gettin an acer one instead for an extra 50 quid !
