    So you have tried another battery and charger... take it they were like for like items?

    All I can suggest is the age old reset method of removing the battery and charger and then holding the power button for 20 seconds or so to discharge and reset the logic ciruitry that may be being held in a corrupt/indeterminate state. Refit battery and charger and try again.
