Change your battery or switch to outlet poer:
Temporary condition, this comes up when the power in your battery gets below a certain threshold, it goes away if you plug your machine in.
if it DOES NOT go away when you plug your machine in, then you need to have a look at your power brick. This might not be a bettery issue, it might be your power cable.
Also. There are many ways your can bring a dead battery back to life. A Lithium Ion battery will charge and discharge about 1000-1500 times before it starts developing charging issues. It is a good idea to not use it until you need it (stay plugged in when possible) and if you DO use the battery you should try to use it up. Battery live longer if they run as far down as possible before charging.
As far as cost goes, this can depend quite heavily on the model. between $50 and $200.
If I was you, I'd check out that power brick.

Well try hooking it up on the charger while you use it at the same time okay? :)
Don't change the battery until you know it actually is broken.
It might just be the outlet so I recommend taking it to a best buy employee and see if it is working. :)
Unless it's a mac take it to a Apple store and if you have it insured still they will pay for most of it and is you don't you'll end up paying around 100 dollars depending on the computer :)

it sound that your battery life time has come to End , to buy new battery the best place without doubt is Ebay but you need to remove the Battery from Laptop and have the Serial Number of the Battery usualy the Serial number or the Model Number writen on the Battery after you get the Model noumber Go ahead to ebay and search for battery by the Laptop Brand Name and the Model Number For Example : IBM think Pad 330 X battery ... see IBM is the bran Think pad 330 is the Model ..

$80 for mine i think... It's been awhile... Call the manufacturer and talk to them about replacing it.
