My Samsung Captivate won't take a charge. It works on the both house and car charger but as soon as I take it off the charger it shows zero charge left and quickly shuts down. When I leave it on the house charger for several hours it will give me the "fully charged" signal - once I take it off the charger it shows zero charge and again shuts down.

If the laptop battery is more than 3 - 4 years old then the battery could be worn out. Rechargeable batteries have a finite number of charge and discharge cycles and will lose their charge capacity over time, i.e. won't charge to 100% and gradually the charge reduces until the battery won't charge up at all. OR The battery shows a 100% charge but when the adapter is disconnected the battery drops off to zero capacity in a very short time. If the battery drops to an unacceptable charge level then the battery needs to be replaced.

The charger maybe faulty, the charge adapter will have a LED indicator to indicate that it is charging.
