I bought an acer aspire 575
The previous owner says the battery worked fine for abour an hour and a half before he stopped using it for year, then sold it to me just now, the system works fine but it doesnt detect the battery (says theres none plugged in) i installed a new OS, installed battery drivers and it persists, i know batteries die if you dont plug them on after a long time i just wanted to know if theres any method to "revive" it or fully drain it so maybe it comes back to life (ive had laptops with "dead" batteries come to life by just charging the laptop while powered off), when the laptop is off and i plug the charger a orange light turns on for about 30 seconds before turning off, the BIOS has no battery settings or information. i just unplugged the battery altogether hoping it would fully drain and maybe plugging it back will work somehow, just wanted to know any tips for lion laptop battery recovery, thanks!!
