Gateway E-115c Convertible Tablet PC not powering on battery

Asked by iamgadget1 in General Laptop, PC Laptops

Tags: Gateway Tablet battery

I recently purchased a Gateway E-155c convertible tablet PC.  The battery was non functional so I purchased a replacement battery.  The Laptop recognizes that the battery has been inserted and reports the battery's status (%53) but the % never rises and if I unplug the AC adapter the laptop immeadiately powers off.  It also will not boot on battery.  The led meter on the battery reports better than half full.  

I dissasembled the laptop and visually inspected the solder joints and the board for cracks but didnt see any obvious damage.  Note:  I did also just recently replaced a broken screen on this laptop as well.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve
