HP dv2000 (Yep, another issue)

[metalicmermaid]

Hi all, Have an issue with my HP dv2000. When it is plugged in it charges to 50% but then says 'Plugged in, Not charging' I have not been able to make it charge any further. It is very frustrating as it did not hold its charge very long in the first place but now when not plugged in it only has 50% power to begin with. I am assuming this means that my battery is on its way out but just wanting a second, third, fourth opinion.
Thanks!

Battery on it way out ,for awhile now apparently !

Third Opinion: Time for a new battery (may want to upgrade to a extended life one if available, not that much more $$)...Mav.
