SOLO P450, two years old. Always used as desktop replacement on AC.
Recently, while moving, unplugged adapter for about a week without
removing the modem. Now machine wont boot on battery. Status indicates
“0% remaining (charging).” Status doesn’t change no matter how long AC is
connected.. Charging LED comes on green when first plugged in,
immediately changes to orange (charging) but turns off after a few
minutes. Never noticed a Low Battery alert.
Is this likely to be a battery issue or a failure of the charging circuit?
This Gateway laptop is Model 2150. Replacement batteries are hard to find. Batteries are available for Models 2100 and 2200 but they do not fit the 2150.
TIA
