HP Compaq NC8430 is not working on ANY battery, but works with AC adapter

I have bought an used HP Compaq NC 8430.
The computer fails to power on with its battery. But it's working with AC adapter.
I blamed a bad battery but it cannot be that.
I have switched the battery with a same model's one, which is 100% working.
But the computer is not power on with the other battery. I have tried 2 more compatible batteries, still not working at all. Only working when connected with AC adapter. The yellow led lights, indicating the battery is being charged. But when unplugged from adapter, the PC is switching off instantly.
It CANNOT be the battery, as all the batteries worked on a friend's NC8430 PC.
It should be some kind of hardware fail?
I have tried to flash the BIOS, to clean the battery contacts, to remove the battery drivers in the control panel... nothing worked.
The HP battery check gives "No battery"
Please, help

"No battery" sounds more like a hardware issue (battery connector), i would suggest you to contact hp tech support (http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/phone-assist.h​tml) on the same.
