Long shot here, but if your new battery is a cheap copy the voltage protection may have let it drain too low. Lithium ion batteries get wonky if they drop too low in voltage. If you can check the voltage of the battery see if it adds up...The whole battery is likely 19.2v or something...Look up the pin out and test. The cells should be at least 3v per cell. I have successfully gotten a dead lithium battery to charge with a NiCad charger to 3v and then the standard charger after that...but you would have to jury-rig it. OH and it might blow up! good luck |

I had a pile of HP laptops here, as well as Dells, and the chargers are identical in every way I can see except the stickers, yet somehow when I plug a Dell charger into an HP laptop, it tells me it isn't an HP charger and doesn't charge the battery. I can use the HP chargers on the Dells just fine, and unfortunately when I sold some of the used Dells I paired them up with the HP chargers, so I have a couple HP's without HP chargers.. what a pain in the butt. They are also finicky on the battery, although some brands seem to work. I didn't waste too much time finding batteries for the used ones I had, I just sold them as is or threw them away. |

I'm still trying to find someone and in the meantime, while waiting, I am trying to sell it as is (telling the buyer exactly whats happening). I just don't want to buy HP BATTERY & ADAPTER. I need to find out first before I buy (don't want to put more $$$ into this thing). |
| Thenasty:
Anyway, SOLD the LAPTOP. Told Buyer everything so no surprises. |
