Inspiron 1501 - Battery problem

I have an Inspiron 1501 bought april 07 in Ireland with a 3 year At home service. Have spent three days trying to phone someone re this and they all must still be on holiday.

 

Any time I start up the Laptop a message appears saying that the battery cannot be identified and the system will be unable to charge the battery. Once I press enter then it starts up as normal however this message appears each time. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

    So what is the problem with the battery? It is still charging and I can use the laptop with just battery power but the message is coming up. Before I buy a new battery I want to make sure it needs replaced.

    i had the same problem, unless you use your laptop away from a power supply this will be a problem

    The battery is no longer under warranty (it's warranted for 12 months, regardless of the system warranty), so you will need to purchase a new one.

    Check the other threads or posting a lot of us have the same issue. Check the battery if you pull it out and press the buttong does it light up?
