I got one of these tonight and when I put it in my laptop, the battery status says 0%, plugged in, not charging and the battery light flashes amber.

Usually when the laptop flashes amber it means the battery isnt any good. Id send it back for a replacement.

I did not experience the problem of the battery not charging. Make sure the battery is seated properly in the computer and make sure you have power to the computer. If it absolutely does not work, contact Amazon and return it.

I think you should return the battery if it's not being detected by your laptop. Sorry for the late response. If you can't return it because it's so long since you purchased it try selling it.

Have you completely charged the battery? Maybe after charging, try to shut down and recheck battery status. I did not have any issues with mine, I just popped mine in and it worked great. It said they had a great support system, I would give Anker a call. Good Luck!

Hmm, good question. I wonder if the connection to the battery is bad? Maybe it was connected for the first 14 hours and then got jarred loose somehow? I would probably take the battery out and put it back in, making sure that the contacts seem to be clean and touching. If that doesn't do anything, I would call a local battery store and see if they have any way of testing the battery to see if it is good. If there is nothing obvious wrong with the battery, I would probably call the company that installed the unit and see if they have any suggestions. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Mine turned on right away. Try to give it 2 hours of charging. Otherwise you've got a defected one.

Good luck. Had to throw mine away. Be sure to check the charger it was the reason my battery was bad.

Sorry to hear that!.. I thought it was very easy to install and my battery was fully charged and it worked fine. Make sure it's hooked to the battery correctly and the battery is charged. If not it might be defective :(

Read the instructions and make sure everything is being hooked up properly. If that is not working I would try a new battery or send it and exchange it. I have had zero problems with mine so far. I hope this helps.

Unfortunately, I have the same problem and no amount of charging is fixing it. It almost feels like there is actually no battery inside, or it used up its number of possible recharges. Returning it to Amazon. Will try one more time to order this thing.

I didn't have any issues, check the battery case, it may not be roperly locked in. Also, charge it for few hours if you see the indicator turning on. Good luck.

I purchased two of them and did not have any problems with them. I would check the battery or return it.

I suggest you contact Amazon or the seller for return instructions. I have had mine since may and have not had any problems. I do no if you leave your laptop plug in alot and leave the battery in it you will over charge the battery and ruin it. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Most likely your laptops circuit board is bad and unable to recharge any battery, genuine or after market.

i was having this issue as well...but i read that there is a RED light that turns on when the battery is charging...so i played with the USB that is plugged into the unit, and found that the red light turns on when its plugged about HALFWAY in. i checked, and it IS in fact charging. try adjusting the B side of the USB (mini part thats in the actual unit) before you return it.

I have no problems with mine. I installed it 5 months ago - working perfectly. Make sure you follow the directions on the printed insert to cycle the battery before use. REMEMBER - the battery HAS TO BE CYCLED 4 to 6 times... that means FULLY charge the battery 10 hours and fully discharge it so the computer shuts down. Do this 4 or 5 times - this will make sure it reach full capacity. find out more here... http://www.laptopbattery1.com
