I have a Dell laptop- less than two years old.

Recently I tried to boot it up without the power cable connected and nothing happened. The battery should have had plenty of charge.

When I connected the mains, it booted up fine.

I checked the power indicator and it said "Battery 78% available (charging)"

However it has remained showing these figures for the last two weeks.

I'm not very well up on the mechanical workings of computers so I thought there may be a simple fix before taking it to a repair shop.
 
There are a few possible problems - take a look at some of dell's troubleshooting notebook battery advice pages - [broken link removed]
