    Hi all,
    just bought a Z80k barebone and quite satisfied with it, but I have one big problem. I can't seem to be able to charge the battery :-(
    The LED for batt charge didn't lit up, and whenever I unplugged the AC power, the notebook sould switched off. I'm not sure if it's the battery that's faulty [xx(] or the charging mechanism ? Can anyone help me on this ...?? Thanks a lot ...

    If your charge led is off while its pluggen into ac and your batt is in then its your battery that is faulty. The z80k has this known issue. If this unit has a long shelf life the battery drains and will not charge again. Contact your vendor and have them replace your battery. Its that simple
