adaptor/battery problem

[cool dude]

for some odd reason everytime i would put in my adaptor into my laptop it won't recognize it until i keep pushing and pushing it. at first when i got it this problem did not occur it. i would just attach it to my laptop and thats it but now after a bit of time of pushing and changing direction will it only recognize the adaptor. so i tried refreshing my battery. ya that worked like new! after a weak back to pushing and shoving it. i'm not too sure if its a problem with my adaptor or my battery. since when i refresh the battery it starts working like new for several days.

You may have to refresh & charge it a few times. It sounds like your battery might be memory-sensitive; it's losing its charge from being recharged before being fully drained. (...If that makes sense to you).

You might want to check and see if there is anything specific to your battery on the net, but you might find the following link interesting:
