GC battery problem

Post by Metroid fan »

Ok I bought GC batt. yesterday and I plug it in and start to charge it up well after about an hour charging I go to use it and it won't turn the thing on. Well then I read the guide and it says to charge it up for 8 to 10 hours the first time. So I do that and it still wont turn it on help? It's an intec one by the way.

I got an Intec one and it said to charge it 12 hours... it works perfectly fine for me. You might have killed it though, or you just got a faulty one...

Maybe you should take it apart.

I just don't want to void the warrenty if it is broken. Then again how are they going to know I broke the warrenty if I screw it back together?

They might have other ways of knowing.
Where did you get it from? If it was new, I would suggest taking it back and exchanging it. Does this mean that you are starting a GCp?
