inspiron 700m battery problems??
hi. i've had my insprion 700m for about 4 months now. within the past month or so, it started shutting off randomly whenever it was not plugged into my ac adaptor. however, sometimes it will run fine on the battery. any clue what the problem is??

"After one hour."
Is it set to "Hibernate" after one hour?
If so, that may be your problem. Try "Never."
yeah the power settings are fine. currently i have them set as never, never, never, after 1 hour when it's running on batteries. i know these aren't the best settings but i just wanted to make sure it wasn't me that was causing the problem. thanks though! any other ideas?

Have you checked and installed any downloads for your 700m here?
EDIT:Do you have a second battery on hand? Although the charge indicator states it has 50% left, it may be giving the wrong reading. The battery may be dead.
