Replacement motherboard won't detect battery!
I've had a mountain of problems with this laptop, most recently it ended up in an infinite reboot loop.
I gave up trying to fix it myself so I took it to a repair shop, where I was told the connector on the motherboard for the LCD screen had broken and the board would need replacing. I'd already ordered a replacement motherboard by this point, and I've now installed it to the system.
Everything else seems to be ok, but the laptop will now not detect the OEM battery, which still charges from the old motherboard, and gives power to the old board when disconnected from AC.
I don't believe that this could be another fault with the new motherboard, there is no way in hell I could be that unlucky with the amount of problems I've already had up to this point.
Any ideas?
