Hi
My laptop (Asus Zenbook UX31e) has developed a fault where it will only turn on when plugged in to the mains. Unplugging it will cause it to turn off
immediately. While plugged in, the tray icon indicates that the battery is charging, but it remains at 60% no matter how long it's connected.
I've tested this in the Windows 7 and Ubuntu partitions, and the behaviour is the same.
I'm fairly sure that this is a battery problem, and I'm ready to order a replacement battery (

Is there any way to be sure that this will be resolved with a new battery? Is it possible that the battery is fine, but there are other problems with the power system?
Thanks
