Sounds to me like that battery is shot. My Girl Friends' Compaq does
about the same thing. i tdoesn;t charge all the way and the battery runs
down from a full charge in about 20 miuntes....I have been looking for a
new pbattery for it and be prepared to pay about 90 - 120 dolloars for a
battery. Course if anyone here knows where to get on cheaper, please let
us know. I need to get one. Thanks.
