I agree that it's a crap shoot diagnosing the problem without testing the
batteries in another machine or external charger. That said, I took a shot in
the dark with a Wallstreet and replaced the Power and Charge Card when
batteries stopped charging or being recognized. In my case, the problem was
fixed. It's quite a trip, disassembling the machine to get to the card. On
another Wallstreet, I was able to fix the problem by "simply" reseating the old
Power and Charge Card (it was a VERY loose connection, I wonder if that's
common?) ... you may wish to try the suggestion of reseating all possible
offending components before buying parts.
Good Luck !
