Exactly my point. The chip should just meh as (i think) it can be recalibrated. There does not seem to be any error flags or whatnot, but first get each cell up to at least 3.3v or the chip will obviously kick in. If the cells cannot be revived then they are "smart" cells and have internal circuitry that has obviously disconnected them because the internal voltage fell too far (these can't be revived). Just try charging them. Otherwise if the voltage in all the cells is 0 then the charger chip doesn't know what to do but to disconnect (safety) and give up totally.
EDIT: Quoted from the datasheet: "Cell over/under voltage protection". Hmm... I think 0V would count as under-voltage right? So, see if you can just get the voltage up to 3.3V (acceptable-ish) but no higher than 4.2 (Li-KABOOM). And as dtd said, it is harsh and WILL blow up your battery if you do not MONITOR the voltage with a multimeter. I chose 3.3V because the cell won't droop below 3V than and it also isn't too high. Be careful tho, because charging cells from under 2.3V can sometimes cause them to just bulge and detonate. Dammit just monitor each one!

I monitored each one..Remember, the original LG cells HAVE NO INTERNAL PROTECTION..they are dead. The new cells panasonic cells though have though. Check http:// be2works . com/forum/viewforum.php?f=2&sid=6df12f3879df3395039ffb252ac7364e (remove spaces) to see what i mean
