My problem is a little different. I show that my battery is fully charged when I turn on my laptop with the power plugged in. Yet, as soon as I remove the power, the laptop does not use the battery and shuts down (instantly--no screen, no lights) . The batter has been working fine so I assume that when it dies, it does it rather slowly, not in one day. Also, the little green light on the front of my Toshiba Satellite P55W does not come on at all. The orange light comes on, however.
