Has anyone else with a GX660 had any battery problems?

i had it start a few months ago where it would say something like 90% available. Plugged in Not charging. after a few google searches it looks like it is a common problem in Windows 7, and going into device manager and removing/reinstalling the acpi battery driver, removing, re-installing the battery will fix it.

i havent used my laptop for a few weeks until today, and now it just says 0% available Plugged in Charging.... only it isnt charging. as soon as i pull the power the laptop goes off. Ive tried turning the laptop off with it plugged into the mains to see if it charges without anything windows related causing problems, but it still doesnt charge :mad: is it safe to say that the battery is knackered in my not very old laptop? :mad: :mad: :(
 
Nevermind, ive found a firmware flash on the MSI website that claims to improve the battery charge function. I Run the flash, rebooted, and the battery is now happily charging :rolleyes:
