[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1696543, member: 56379"] I guess that's good news & bad news.:):( Assuming that no problems occurred when the old battery was removed or when the new battery was installed (component or cable damage, reassembly done properly, etc.). Since the previous battery was not holding a charge (not sure if this was age related)…there is the possibility that the "battery problem" is not battery related at all. But related to something else…such as some other sort of hardware failure. Of course your next question will be…[I]"What sort of other hardware failure?".[/I];) And my reply is…no idea at this point. Since I do not know the history of this computer (whether it has been exposed to physical hazards/drops or hard bumps, exposed to liquid, run over by a car, etc.). - Nick [/QUOTE]
