Hi David,
Any possibility you got a bad battery? I don't know if there's a
way to test laptop batteries or not. Just a thought... I have a
lot of Sony A/V gear, but I've noticed over the past few years
they have gone downhill. I guess everybody has. :-(

Hi Guys:
I have another way off topic question. I figure variety is the
spice of life so here goes.
I purchased a third party battery for my SONY LAPTOP. model VGN
NR398D. Battery model is VGP-BPS9/B.
It is a 9 cell 7800mahr battery because the Sony is a pig at
eating up power.
Turns out Sony is not only a pig, it is a very touchy pig, in that
they have installed software (and hardware I suppose) that can
detect whether or not one installs a genuine Sony battery at
almost the cost of the laptop, or a cheap Chinese import. I
cannot get my laptop to recognize that it has a battery
installed. Of course the battery came with some software c/w
chinese instructions and I cannot get it to work.
Has anyone in the group ever tried this with any success. My next
step is to run over the laptop with my car, and vow never to
purchase anything from sony again.
I have already boycotted RCA and haven't purchased any of their
products for about 15 years.
DAVE
