HP/Compaq Business NoteBook 6715B Battery charging problem

Jan. 22, 2010 - PRLog -- Today I got HP/Compaq Business NoteBook 6715B Battery for repair with the battery charging problem. It is a new model and we do not have a lot of experience with these laptops. The customer complained that the laptop will not charge the battery when it is plugged into the AC outlet.

The laptop failure symptoms:

The laptop will not turn on when I try to start it from the battery. When the laptop is turned off and plugged into the AC outlet the battery charge LED doesn’t light up. I know that the battery is not charged and the LED should light up when I plug the laptop into the AC outlet. The laptop starts fine when it is plugged. When I move the mouse over the HP Power Icon in the lower right corner, the balloon will pop up and there is a line in there: Battery Remaining: N/A.http://www.udtek.com/hpcompaq-business-notebook-6715b-battery-cells-4400mah-p-15314.html
