I just stuck in my second battery (after not using it for close to a year), and it won't charge. When it clicks into place, the lightning bolt comes on for five seconds, and then goes off.
I've switched bays for both batteries and the second battery still remains empty, while the other remains full (AC connected). The empty battery only shows the lightning symbol in the right bay; nothing occurs when it's placed in the left bay. I checked my receipt (I purchased one of them only just over a year ago before a trip), but it doesn't show the battery serial number on the back, so I don't know if it's the old battery that's not charging or the new one. I pressed the reset button at the rear of the machine, but no luck with charging after restarting. I reset date and time, so the PRAM is working, I guess. It may just be that the older battery has permanently died after a year of inactivity. I was hoping to leave tomorrow with two full batteries, but... Any ideas?
