    Hi, my battery don't work.
    When i press Fn+F2 it just say, "charging disabled"

    Mean, battery is dead?

    If yes, i can buy battery for R3 or R4, doesn't?

    Hi,

    Sure thing, both R3 and R4 can use the same type of battery.

    Please try re flashing the BIOS of your system to the version here.
