Netbook will not turn on with battery in

Hi

First post, as per the title, my Asus x101h which is just over a year old has suddenly developed a fault in which it will not turn on, or resume from sleep with the battery in, on battery power or ac. If the battery is taken out, it turns on, and the battery can then be put back and the netbook works perfectly. The battery shows it being charged and charges fully, lasting the normal time once turned on.

Is the battery dead, or could it be another problem?

Thanks

Richard

Hi

Thanks for the response, the computer is able to run on battery once I've turned it on with it out and will last its normal time. I've also checked it with health checker software and it didn't say the battery was bad. The batteries don't appear to be that cheap to buy so didn't want to replace it without it definitely being dead.

Thanks

Richard

Just had a go at trying this, but as soon as I shut the lid or turn it off, it won't resume with the power button.

Thanks

I've updated the BIOS but it didn't change anything, and both the battery and adapter are genuine. I might have to try a new battery, it just seems weird that it works perfectly once I've taken the battery out, booted and put the battery in again.

Thanks
