I have an ancient Asus A3A, just to experiment with. While turned off, the power light comes on for a few seconds and the CD drive whirs. Light then goes out.This drains the battery within 2 weeks, unless the charger is connected. Everything works OK, except for this discharging. The battery is non-genuine. I've tried the usual power resets suggested on many forums, but to no avail.
When the battery is removed, there is still 14V across pins 1-8 of the battery, so the protection circuit is not active. Pin 7 is, I believe, the temp sensor, and pin 2 is the isolation s/w.
Can the battery be fixed or reset with some trick?
Thank You.
