Dell Laptop Screen Goes Black But Still Running

I've got an odd problem here. On my Compaq Presario CQ60-615DX, it runs fine as long as it's plugged in.

Dell Screen Goes Black Randomly

Once I unplug it and run it on the battery, once it gets down to about 87-88% or so, the screen just goes black, but doesn't shutdown and I'm unable to do anything except remove the battery and restart. My first thought was a battery problem, but the fact that it keeps running even though the screen is black makes me wonder if that's the case or not. Anyone else experience this or any ideas to help?

My fear is what you said in the second part of your post. I am the type of person to just keep it plugged in almost all the time, so I'm guessing the battery can no longer hold much of a charge. Looks like it might just be time for a new battery.
