Laptops battery life would not last more than 5min. After replacing the battery - plugging in the new one to charge.
NExt day I tried to turn the laptop on without the AC in.
>> NOthing

The laptop registered that there was a battery connected for about 5 min, then after that said "no battery present"

It runs fine of AC - but I suspect maybe the new battery is not being charged.

I was told to just buy a new motherboard? Is that the only solution>

Please advise! (THANKS!)
