I have an old but serviceable laptop, but the battery died last year after spending a couple of months unused.

Now the battery will not charge at all under any circumstances - the battery charge light blinks on & off, but never stays on to indicate that charging is taking place (and it isn't).

I am simply wondering whether putting in a new battery will cure the problem, or if it is actually a problem with the laptop itself. It's a Compaq EVO N610, btw.

If anyone has any knowledge on this I'd appreciate hearing it before I shell out £45 on a new battery, only to find it's the PC!
