Hey everyone, remember me? Ever since I picked up that Duo i have been plagued with a bad battery. I picked up 2 more second hand batteries today without really knowing what kind of state they were in. They were free, so i decided I might as well try them out. I popped in the first one and the machine wouldn't turn on. Any ideas? Oh, I should mention that this was WITH the AC plugged in. The second I tried also with the AC plugged in and it started up. The charge meter on that little tool bar near the bottom of the screen (what's that called anyway??) showed 1 white bar and all the others were grey. This gives me some hope that the battery may just be low. Neither of the batteries start the machine on their own. Also, I should mention that my (presumably) dead battery allows my machine to start when it is in. That's what makes me wonder about the battery that DOESN'T let my machine start.
