Since then it has displayed this message intermittently (when running off mains). Yesterday, the machine just died when running on batteries at about 70% charge. Since then it doesn't recognise that it has a battery. Have I simply been sold a defective battery? My machine is running Vista Home Premium.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 27 Dec 2008 13:41:18 GMT davharbu 2008-12-27T13:41:18Z No Battery is detected - VGN-FZ31S https://community.sony.sk/t5/pcs-accessories/no-battery-is-detected-vgn-fz31s/m-p/49618#M56201 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I got my new notebook and battery out of the box on Christmas Day.
