z60t battery

#1 Post by mrgdownunder » Thu Feb 11, 2010 9:50 pm

I have a z60t that I bought used about 3 months ago. The battery generally held a charge for over 2 hours. One night I was running off of battery power. I think that the battery was at about half. I shut down. In the morning, I went to use the computer and the battery was completely dead and now won't take a charge at all. Can anyone tell me what happened or how to fix?

It could be that the battery just died. It happens. See if the battery reset / calibration helps. Although if the battery doesn't charge at all, I doubt that it would. :(
