    Hi guys, I've received my MSI ms-1651 yesterday so I'm back in business. The keyboard is kinda hard to get used too tho. Anyway I tested the battery that came with it on the ifl90 and low and behold it doesn't charge either while the 9-cell I got from ebay charges perfectly on the MSI and it's what I'm using right now... Th ifl90 runs fine fine on battery but doesn't charge it. That means that my supposedly broken 9-cell from before might still hve been working perfectly and i put a perfectly good 9-cell battery in the trash(recycle) [​IMG]!!! Or maybe not... Anyway I'm still planning to either sell the ifl90 for cheap or just give it to a member of my family as it would still be working once i restore my bios... Are there external charger for laptop batteries?

    My IFL90 didn't charge my battery when it came back from its first RMA. They re-flashed the motherboard and sent it back to me and it worked great... until it randomly died this past winter (I'm not bitter!).

    I abandoned that idea. I figured out it wasn't worth it.
