I normally use it in a docking station but last week I took it away on a trip. It will not work at all on battery power. Won;t even boot up. When I look at the power management screen it can't 'see' the battery. It just says Battery #1 not present. I've checked that the battery is fitted properly.<BR />Can anyone help?<BR /><BR />Anne<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 28 Jul 2008 08:34:33 GMT https://community.sony.ie/t5/pcs-accessories/battery-problem-with-vgn-tx3xp/m-p/46891#M59716 artangel 2008-07-28T08:34:33Z Re: Battery problem with VGN TX3XP https://community.sony.ie/t5/pcs-accessories/battery-problem-with-vgn-tx3xp/m-p/46892#M59717 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi Anne.<BR /><BR />It is possible for a battery to die after 18 months but this should not be normal.<BR /><BR />The only way you can establish if the battery is faulty is to borrow a working one from somewhere.
