I own a Compaq Presario V2000 that I purchased in May 2005. Ya, not that old…but it has issues. About a year ago, I started having issues with my battery dieing very quickly. So I used the power cord more. About 8 months ago it got to the point that the battery wouldn’t hold a charge at all. I purchased a new 12 cell battery less than a month ago and it had been working fine. The thing is last night it completely blacked off without warning. I thought that maybe the battery had died and I had not noticed it flashing. So I took my battery to class today and had a class mate charge it in her computer. Thinking that maybe my cord wasn’t charging it and I would need to solder that connection. Well I brought home that newly charged battery, put it in my computer and tried to charge it up. Nothing, no lights came on, or flashed…just complete black. What is wrong with it? Or is ther 50 thousand possibilities. Someone mentioned a problem with my motherboard battery. I didn’t even know the motherboard had its own battery. Any suggestions? Anyone? Help…I have finals coming up!
