Hello everyone,
I shall try my best to explain the current situation I am in.
About a week ago, I bought the 2nd battery available from acer's store online and after a couple charges and discharges, it was working fine and I was extremely satisfied. However, yesterday it failed.
There would be no lights from the battery in any situation, I charged it using the ac power slot, no lights, connect the 2nd battery to the laptop, no lights, press the button on the battery to show how much power is left, no lights.
When I connect the battery and the laptop, the laptop seems to ignore that the 2nd battery is there and uses the in built one. HOWEVER, while connecting the 2nd battery to the laptop, when I attach the AC power to the 2ND BATTERY, it would charge the battery in the laptop, not the 2nd one.
I have tried one or two things. Firstly, I've left it for a whole day, in a warm room (I live in about 5-15 degree temperatures) of about 20 degrees C, I've left it charging for a whole day, and I've searched google for hours now.
I'm guessing its had about 6 or so complete discharges till now.
I highly doubt it is a driver issue, and I'm leaning towards a hardware failure, but if anyone could help me solve this, I will save another $150 dollars, and not be really mad at acer.
Thanks!!
