This may be far-fetched and unhelpful, Eldy, but I managed to scrounge this up:
1) Disconnected the power (battery still in because I'm not going to crack the case to get it out) 2) Held the power button down for approximately 15 seconds (The hard drive spun up and then crashed to a stop causing me to wince) 3) Reconnected the power (noticed the charge light was no longer blinking!) 4) Powered up.......battery/power icon reading "13% available (plugged in, CHARGING!)" without the caps and exclamation point
Conclusion? Perhaps I slapped it upside the head by crashing the hard drive causing it to recognize the newly installed "Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery" driver? Maybe?
Well....I'm a happy camper! My battery is now at 39% and charging.
Thank you all.....I will recommend this site to all my friends and family - truly a God send!
If it's not as simple as this, you may need to get a new battery. Is it still under warranty?
