Weird Battery Problem

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.dell,comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

My Dell Latitude CPi PII-400 will not boot if I have a battery installed or
charge a batttery after it is running. I've ruled out the battery through
substitutions. I'm running XP and have latest bios updates. Any
suggestions?
TIA,
David

Thanks, I downloaded the service manual but could not find the charger board
in it, is it a separate item on the cpi? I appreciate the help. I have a
dead CPi to draw parts from.
Thanks,
David
