IBM 375XD

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

Hello!
First check battery connection with laptop. Second if it possible check
battery cells (if they in property state - charged or no). It should have
something about 3,7V per one cell. If there is everything good. You schould
look for some electronic damage on battery. If battery is good maybe charger
it's damaged (that electronics in laptop).
Sorry for my english

If he DOES mean 365XD then well, I have one of those that I've owned
since it was new, and that sounds exactly like the problem I have with
old batteries. I think that he just got a worthless old battery
someone sold him as "new". If you can, just get that battery exchanged
for a good one.
