I guess this is a somewhat common issue. The battery on this Inspiron 2650 I got for free won't charge. Windows says it's charging, but it constantly stays at 0% until eventually it just starts running on AC power, with the battery still at 0%. The charging light flashes indicating it's charging, but if I wait until it says it's on AC power, take out the battery and test it by pushing the buttons on the side, none of them light up.
I've read online and a couple other people have had this problem, and changing the battery did nothing.
Does anybody happen to have a Inspiron 2650 that they can measure the voltages on the pins that connect to the battery? This is what I got:
GND
Plastic piece
4.72V
4.72V
5.00V
0V
3.42V
0V
