    Hi, everyone,

    I left my stock 6-cell battery (and the rest of the A110 netbook) unused for about 3 months, and now the battery doesn't charge at all or hold a charge. The battery charge LED gives a slow orange blink. The battery status window in XP says 0% charge, unknown battery (I can get the specifics if needed).

    Do batteries really die this easily?

    Thanks,
    Joe

    Did the BIOS upgrade work at all?

    p.s. i'm so glad that i pick the right product, not because of its own make/model/service, it's purely because of the peer support from various pals over the world !
