Thanks very much for any help you can provide. If it is just shutting off, then it is most likely for sure the battery, if it's shutting down first, it could still be the battery but it's just not able to hold a charge long enough to keep the computer running so it shuts down.
I'm using the laptop now to respond while I have battery power. I did see reference to updating the BIOS but when i looked at the issue the update was resolving it did not quite fit this situation and i was scared to death to flash it anyway. I have searched all over and have found some threads that say this model has this problem but the threads were either orphaned or they was no response to what the permanent fix was. Have taken it back to them 3x - it wouldn't do it for them. Charged us 200.00 but it never really fixed it.
Took it to be serviced when it first started it and they said it was overheating. Seems to finally be getting worse - enough so it can be pin-pointed anyway. It's a god awful long story but it has had this power issue (has not been consistent enough though) for the last 12 months until yesterday.
