Start up problem when on Battery Power

I have a dell C610 that when I try to boot from a fully charged battery, it will start to boot, but than stop and stay shut down, if I connect the AC power, and attempt to boot, it will try to start again and than just keep flashing the start up LEDs for a few seconds but never completing the boot cycle, if at this point I remove the battery, this system will finish the boot and start up ok.  Now I can re-insert the battery and disconnect the AC power and work of the battery for up to two hours without problems, unless I attempt to shut down or restart while running of the battery.  Any ideas what may be causing this???  Or any known work-around for this issue.

Hudson77/linuxbullet04,

Thank you for using Dell's Community Forum.

It sounds like it could be some sort of grounding issue; maybe your motherboard is causing this.
You should contact us in regard to a repair.

OK i figured out mine. well i think.. ill tell you in a little bit. on your battery press that button it doesnt look on the button on the botton of it its a big circle thing just press it kinda hard i guess and like some lights should like come on then turn off. Then put the battery on your laptop with your a/c and it should be charging then. the battery light should blink really slowly.


I hope mine works ill keep you updated..... I helped myself w00000t
