    Hey all,

    I just bought two new batteries for my Asus W3V notebook; a main and a modular bay battery. I've put them both in the machine, but when I unplug the AC adapter, my power shuts off right away.

    I have no idea why it won't recognize my batteries! :confused:

    Tried mixing and matching, they can't power up on their own. I bought them from NCIX in Vancouver.

    In RightMark CPU and NHC, it says that the designed capacity is 4294836 mWh, Voltage: 65.535 V, it says Power state: On line. It says this for BOTH the main batt. and mod bay batt.!

    I've looked in Device Manager, and it has 2 batteries, but it says the drivers are Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery (location: on PCI bus) for both.

    Thanks for any help!!! :eek:

    Consider this a bump! I have no idea but 65V? Should be between maybe 11 and 14? Good luck I hope someone can help.
