My Samsung has done the same. Battery used to last 3 hours, now I'm lucky to see 5 minutes out of it. I'm told its due to the heat build up whilst using AC power has damaged it and that if I was to buy a new laptop which I mostly use off the mains to remove the battery completely to save it getting damaged again. No idea if theres any truth it in but sounds sensible. | |

The power socket can probably be fixed without spending money but the battery is another matter. | |

Sounds just like mine, if I pull the AC jack out it comes up i've got 3% battery remaining & it turns itself off, doesnt charge at all. | |

Aye I need a new battery but even when the battery worked you had to wiggle the power cable around to make it work, now its all fucked. | |

PC World won't do repairs to the board if the power socket has come off. | |

Is it still under warranty? My power point has come away twice and I sent it back to fujitsu to get it repaired but that was under warranty. Before I realised it was still under warranty, I checked around a few local computer shops and was quoted between £60-£80. To buy a new battery I think is about £80, but fujitsu may have lied to me! | |
