Hey PC masters - being a mac user I am not used to these issues, so I hope you can help out. My bro got a compaq laptop, and the battery will not charge. The laptop can see the battery and claims it is charging it, and it even has the battery charging light on.
Two batteries have been tried, to the same result, is the laptop f'ed?

probably, if you tried two batteries and had the same results.
go to control panel and then "power" and see if there is anything that jumps out at you there.

It's clean. Can anyone recommend a good brand for fixing something like this, I mean I can go local comp repair shop, but is something like Geek Squad good?
Funny, never ran into any issue like this with all of my macs. =)

(Nov 14 05, 09:28)He bought it on ebay, I told him to send it back, he wants to keep it as he got a good deal on it, that is, if it worked properly.
