Dead Laptop Battery?!

Hello!!

I have what seems to be a problem with my laptop. When I have the A/C Adapter plugged in, my laptop turns on and works fine. If I disconnect the A/C Adapter, my laptop shuts down. The battery says it is 100% fully charged. When I try and turn my laptop on without the A/C adapter, it doesn't do anything. Also, I have a small battery icon on my laptop that is supposed to light up when charging, and it doesn't do so.

Please help! What is the problem?

P.S. I have a Gateway laptop that is only 1 year old.

Certainly sounds like the battery is toast.
How's your warranty?

Unfortunately it does sound like a battery. Try pulling the battery from the laptop and clean the connections, then put it back in.

Unfortunately, my warranty is over

What is the best way to get a new one? Do I need a new one?

you should be able to get a battery at the manufacturers website.
