You need to replace the dead battery. You can remove the battery and use just the adapter always plugged in, especially since you rarely use it with just the battery. Batteries wear out faster if you don't use it and recharge regularly.
Thanks for the reply. But can you clarify one point: the Power Meter in Windows (XP Pro) says that the battery is at 100% charge and that it is simply idle. Do you know why this is?
