Dead 640m battery?
My mom has a 640m that she got a little bit over a year ago... and that she never runs off battery. That battery seems to be dead or something. If you unplug the AC adapter while the computer is running, the computer will turn off. If you unplug the AC adapter and then try to turn the laptop on, it won't boot. But Windows reports the battery as being 100% charged, and if you push the little button on the battery, all the lights go green. Any suggestions? Battery? System board?

- My mom called Dell support tonight... and apparently it was discovered that when the battery is out of the laptop and she pushes the little button, it doesn't light up (but it does light up when it's in the laptop). Ordering a new battery tomorrow...
