Opening up you laptop is something I do not recommend unless you are prepared to have a laptop that does NOT work at all.

Reading the thread I wonder, have you taken the battery out and let it "rest" for a bit? While its out, check the terminals on the laptop where the battery connects, they should be bright and shiny and no dust. Similarly on the battery. DO NOT touch the terminals, just blow some dry air over them if they look dusty.

It is very easy to short out a battery by inadvertently connecting two of the terminals together, for instance, polishing with a damp cloth.

Remove battery for one hour, then put in in the laptop with the laptop off AND the power cord disconnected. Now try turning on the laptop WITHOUT the power cord connected.
You have to open up the laptop to upgrade the BIOS?...I didn't know that. Last night I took the battery out and checked all of the leads which looked very clean, and same with the leads on the laptop. I left it out all night, and in the morning I poped it in with no results. I then plugged in the AC power and it came one, but instead of an amber battery light I got a RED light which means battery will not accept a charge. This light was on shortly, and turned off after it was booted into Windows XP. It did just like the amber light does as far as turning off in a short period of time. I then removed the battery and popped it back on and got the amber light....full charge...for a short period of time then it went back off. I guess it is safe to say the battery is toast..? BTW, Thank you for all the help guys.
