Replacement battery for A31 won't charge

[KillaByte]

Hi!

Since the battery that came with my A31 when I bought it only lasts about an hour I ordered a replacement battery. When it arrived I replaced the original battery with the replacement and connected the power supply.

Instead of the usual steady orange, then blinking green the battery indicator only flashes orange. The Battery Maximiser says that there's no activity at the battery but the battery health indicator is still green.

Any ideas?

Hello killabyte,

as far as I can judge You recieved a dead replacement, if after hours of charging in Your notebook /or using the IBM-charger it still does nothing else but flashing!

I happend to run into such a battery, but it was a used, refurbished one, that happend not to like being refurbisched....

Happy trails just the same Friedrich-Eugen
