Which would be why I said *if*.
I did not say it *would cool it down, but you *did* say it would heat it up - but if the fans were running it would *not*.

My model is a LG R500.
I don't think it's my fan. I have 3 settings for it. Cool mode, normal mode, and silent mode. Silent mode doesn't turn it off, just makes the fan slower. And it's never been a problem before.
I think the problem started when I dual booted with Ubuntu.
Also, my battery settings are all default, which they were before when I didn't have this problem.
I am trying speedfan right now though.
Guys, I have the EXACT same problem.
I've been using Windows 7 Ultimate x86 for more than a year on my laptop (HP DV5-1153ei), and very recently (2 days ago) this problem happened for the first time. The laptop powered-off when it reached 50% charge, and as I attempt to start it up again, it barely powers on (I see the POST message(s)) then it powers-down again, as if the battery is fully drained. It worked fine when I plugged it in, and the charge reads 50% and increases normally as long as it's plugged in.
I was wondering if someone managed to find a fix for this?
Cheers
OK, it's a good thing I was sort of expecting this. A new battery is probably the only fix.
I'll just keep the current one and effectively turn the lappy into a PC :P, it's not worth investing in an expensive new battery for this relatively old laptop.
Thanks for your replies guys.
