Thinkpad R52 - Battery blinking all the time, not charging

Hi,
My laptopt IBM thinkpad R52 not charging battery (always blinking in orange led), I tried to replace the battery by a new one and charging all night but unfortunately the problem persists, the same problem.
Always the battery led is blinking.
Any suggestion? What do you think?
I don't have any idea what is the problem?
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum!
If the second battery is a *known good* example that charges in another machine, then the charging circuit on the motherboard has been damaged.
Cheers,

  • Won't display my gadgets - explorer does - so not gadgets - what gives - use to all the time - not anymore - how do I get them back

    All of a sudden my gadgets don't display in my igoogle home page. Use to all the time and they will if I use internet explorer it just happens with mozilla firefox.
    How do I get them to display properly they just are listed on the left hand side of the screen.

    Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have indicated that for Norton 360 they plan to release an update to Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early May - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
    Pending the update by Symantec, if you want to use the Norton add-ons you will need to downgrade to Firefox 3.6.
    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

  • HT204452 My Mac is blinking all the time after the latest update.

    The computer was working fine before the update. Now, it blinks the active screen when I try to load anything. I can't use my softwares or browse on network. Somebody with this issue?

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them.
    Start up in safe mode to rebuild the font caches. Restart as usual and test.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.
    If you still have problems, then from the Font Book menu bar, select
              File ▹ Restore Standard Fonts...
    You'll be prompted to confirm, and then to enter your administrator login password.
    Also note that if you deactivate or remove any built-in fonts, for instance by using a third-party font manager, the system may become unstable.
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
    and confirm. Close the window. Then select
               ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

  • Strange rendering all the time - not only on Firefox.

    The image has strange strypes all over it and they look a little like normal screen for a short time. It happend after I sent my laptop Acer Aspire 4745 Z - 4754. Thanks for your attention.

    hello, since this is not a problem related to firefox, we probably won't be able to help you there. you'd have to contact the manufacturer's support for your device (also try to update your graphics drivers). thank you for your understanding!

  • Do I need to keep the battery in all the time or can I use on mains only

    Hi, Does anyone know if it's ok to leave the battery out and use my mbp with the magsafe power adapter only. I mean will it harm the computer doing this. The reason I ask is I rarely use my mbp away from my desk I don't use it on battery power much and with the battery in I've noticed it's gets hot.
    Thanks in advance

    There is something else to consider. Your processor speed will be reduced and you are much more at risk of losing data should the power go out unexpectedly:

    Apple's recommendation is that you not run without the battery.

  • I can haz fade-in, all the time, not sometimes 2x fade-out?

    I made this slide-show as a trial:
    http://mycodsolutions.com/postcards.html
    I as not too efficient at my lay-out, not knowing exactly what I wanted.  I know there are better ways to do this, but there it is.
    All thumbs are buttons, there are no 'states'.  I did each edit in a round, for example first adding the roll-over, then later doing the transitions.  When I got to the transitions:
    If one looks closely one will see that many photos do not properly fade-in.  There was not an option for these images!  Many had TWO fade-outs.  If I delete the offending photo, and re-import, I can do a fade-in.  However this is very annoying!  I am confused about why there is what appears to be an unintended effect.
    I was being careful about which transition I might touch, but honestly they are all buttons, so there is simply an over state (and 'down', similarly, copypastaed) defined.
    Any thoughts?

    Nice photos! With the structure as you outlined, you are just going to have to carefully look at each button and it's Rollover and Rollout interactions. Are you triggering the fade in and fade outs using action sequences? The only advice I can give it to walk through it again to see if you can spot the differences between the working ones and the non-working ones.

  • 3rd-Gen Ipod Touch Overheating All the Time!

    I have a 3rd-Gen Ipod Touch, 32gb that I bought over a year ago. I've never had a problem with it before until about two weeks ago and it's concerning me quite a bit. Whenever I use it, within 5 minutes it becomes very hot, mostly on the bottom near where it charges. Within 10 minutes, the heat has spread throughout the whole device and has become so hot that I can no longer hold it. This happens all the time, not when it's charging. I'm worried that it will overheat to the point that I can no longer use it.
    Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a way that I can fix this? Do I have to have the battery replaced or something?
    I appreciate any feedback, and thanks.

    Sounds like a bad battery. Search ebay, there are people who provide the replacement service for as low as $19.
