Hi All-
I have an Acer Aspire V3-771g notebook. its currently running the
1.15 firmware. The issue im having is the battery is close to dying on it.
I ordered a 9cell battery off of amazon which didnt work. If i hover over
the battery icon it would say "plugged in, not charging". They sent me a
replacement and the same issue happened. I figured the 9 cell battery
wasnt fully compatible with my notebook even tho the webpage said it
would work. I then ordered a 6 cell battery from a different vender, same
issue happens. If I put my original batter back in the notebook and plug
it in and hover over the battery icon it says plugged in, charging. so I dont
think anything is wrong with the notebook itself.
Im thinking that there might be an issue with the old 1.15 firmware not
working on newer\3rd party batteries. Does anyone know if updating the firmware
to 2.28 would fix the issue im having? It would be nice if there was some
patch notes on Acer's site but I cant find anything. I tried calling there tech support
but they wouldnt help since the notebook is out of warranty.
I would update to 2.28 my self but it looks like i need an unlocked firmware.
Thanks!
