battery not detected after flashing BIOS

‎01-13-2009 03:12 AM

first time here, need help!!!! I have HP dv4 1030ee with Vista Home Premium. Just 2 days ago I noticed that my battery is always on 3% although AC power is plugged and charging. I research how to remedy the situation and found that there is a new update for BIOS available in the HP website addressing this issue. So, I dowloaded the program and flashed my BIOS. Flashing went well, but when I rebooted, OS cannot detect my Batttery!!! Up until now, my computer is running on AC power!!!! My Bios version was F.06 and I updated it with the latest version F.24. Somehow, something went wrong....... need help.... my HP laptop is only 2 MONTHS OLD!!!!

Try removing the battery and booting only with power cord.Next shutdown and reinsert battery.
