Laptop works fine on AC power but will not power up when only on battery. Battery icon states it is at 50%+ and charging. Faulty battery pack is probible cause but before I send it back I would welcome any suggestions.
Maybe one of the wires that give the battery power is ruined

Perhaps try taking the battery completely out of the laptop for 5-10 minutes and then replacing it and trying again. My Dell wouldn't work on battery alone but was fully charged and leaving the battery out for a while before replacing it worked for me. Also keep your eye on how much the battery charges. It may be a faulty AC adapter also. Best of luck.
