Dell Inspiron E1705 battery problem?

[mikehende]

Replaced the old battery after it stopped taking a charge with a brand new one, now this new battery doesn't take a charge, do I have any options or does this mean it's a mobo problem therefore nothing I can do unless I change the mobo? Or is there any test I can run to know 100% that it's a mobo problem?

Check the DC jack on the motherboard.

if it seems loose, its likely the reason.

You can try reflowing the solder on the DC jack if your comfortable doing so
