battery question

[josh_k]

hi, i got my y560 about 2-3 months ago and since then there have been a couple instances where i charge my battery and I get a warning message from windows 7 that it suggests replacing the battery... but when i unplug the charger and plug it back in again the battery warning will go away.

is this something i should be worried about or just a windows error?

it is not your computer's fault, it is an issue windows 7 that microsoft doesn't want to admit to.

as i remember, microsoft released windows 7 fix, but couldn't remember download page, so, i suggect you to check windows update.
