Battery Problem

I have detected a battery charging problem in my Dell inspiron 411z. The detected problem is: The battery charges upto 58% and stops charging. On hover to the icon it says "plugged in, not charging". Can any one please help me on this.

    Does the system BIOS sense the AC adapter correctly, or is it listed as "unknown"?

    F2 at powerup to check.

    Yes, System BIOS has detected my adapter correctly.

    If the adapter is correctly sensed, and the battery won't fully charge with the system powered off, it's time for a new battery.

    Guys, my problem is still unsolved. I tried a recharge process going through a complete discharge. Is there any more processes to solve my laptop's problem or the solution is ordering a new battery. :(

    I am still trying to find the real cause of the problem, so I have not bought a new battery. But as per the IT personnels around me, changing the battery should solve the problem.

    gotcha. every one I have talked to suggests buying a new battery, so I might resort to that. what all have you tried to resolve the problem?
