Tha who-sit to the what-sit?!?

:-D

MMMmmmmmmgh... ain't fit fer fancy 'puter fixing. Don't even reckon' I knows 
whut a "Multi-Meter" is... mmmmmmmmmmmgh.  <--- "SwingBlade Talk'n"

But I am hoping it is not all of that; mostly because (1) the PRAM battery 
seems to be functioning fine (I read online that a fuse - the one U mentioned? - 
control the PRAM and main battery charging), and (2) the laptop seems to 
"see" the battery for a second when it is inserted, but then it stops and gives me 
a "no battery/bad battery" indicator....

One thing that would help my diagnosis is knowing whether the symptoms I 
described above, and the fact that the Battery Recondition app tell me "there is 
not a battery installed; try to reseat it" when I run it, are familiar to 
anyone. Is the above indicitive of just a bad 2400c battery? Or more?
