The both expansion bays on my Pismo G3 PB won't charge battery.

The title pretty much says it all. The both expansion bays on my Pismo G3 PB won't charge battery.

When I push the button on the battery the LEDs blink and that's pretty much it.

Has anyone else faced this?

Any fixes?

Thanks, Vasa

A good chance your battery is dead. Borrow a battery. I assume you can operate from wall power, if so, that means at least that your converter is good.

If you do decide to spring for new batteries, I have two of the extended life made by Newer Tech... and with Panther and Airport, get about 6 hrs life.
