[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1839006, member: 46727"] Welcome to our forums. It's difficult to tell from the photo of the board, but it appears there is some corrosion present (could be a grainy photo) which might be the cause. You could try a new I/O board. I also suspect your battery may not be as good as you think it is. Leaving a Lithium-Ion battery in a complete discharged state for an extended period of time is not good for the battery. It's usually best to leave them charged up to around 50% or a bit more. It can be expensive replacing both the battery and the I/O board. How long did you leave the battery on charge when you first started it up again? It may take a while to revive the battery assuming the I/O board is okay. I have heard of batteries like yours coming to life again after being on charge overnight or even longer. Let us know. [/QUOTE]
