hey, i have a old compaq armada 7400 and i pretty recetly got a new battery... i let a friend borrow this laptop and he dident plug it into the AC! when the battery ran out, he kept tryin to turn it on until the battery was COMPLETELY drained... and now.... the battery WONT charge ... when i plug it in the charge light wont come on....... but in windows, on the taskbar..... it says 0% remaining (charging) but the battery DOSENT charge..... i think maybe it needs a big jolt of power to get the charge flowing but i dont know how to do that! HELP!
thanks in advance!
