<![CDATA[Battery? what battery? No power even though fully chaged.]]>Anybody else had this problem?

One of my laptops is a very expensive gaming laptop.
After about a year, the charger failed, and I got a replacement.
A couple months later, the battery wasn't holding a full charge, and I replaced that also.
A couple of months later, the Laptop was still charging the battery, but would instantly turn OFF when unplugged, even though the battery was fully charged.
I researched this, and one guy said to go to the CONTROL PANEL, DEVICE MANAGER, BATTERIES.. and disable ACPI then re-enable it. That fixed the problem for several days. Then the problem returned. After a few attempts, it fixed the problem again. A couple of weeks later, the problem has returned, and this time it won't go away.
It's not a huge deal, because the computer runs slow when not plugged in, and I almost always have it plugged in. It is ANNOYING though.
I would like to know how to fix this.. and what CAUSES it.

I bought a 2nd battery because the 1st one was behaving strangely.
I was charging up BOTH batteries and flipping between the two - which worked for a few weeks.
Now it seems the bad battery is useless, and I sticking with the new battery.

With the new battery, I still had to disable and re-enable the ACPI... but only had to do that once, and the setting stuck after rebooting.

I think the problem is fixed.

Next problem is a hopeless one.. the camera and touchscreen of my other laptop which in an HP stopped working 6 months ago.. just weeks after I bought it. Since I very rarely use the laptop's camera nor touchscreen, I don't care. From my research, it seems this is a common problem with HP laptops.
