I purchased a replacement battery from Amazon. I replaced the battery but, after powering the notebook up, all I get is a black/blank screen. The power button is lit and the AC plug appears to be working because it lights the charging light on the side of the notebook.
After trying unsuccessfully to get the notebook to power up, I re-installed the previous battery and the system booted as expected (it did warn about CMOS something or other but then booted fine.)
Any ideas? Is there something in the BIOS that might need to be tweaked?
