If you have NO charge light on the DSL and the battery doesn't charge, the EM10 power supply filter on the motherboard may be faulty.
This guide will allow you to locate, test and replace the filter.
You will find replacement EM10 Filter's on the internet for a few dollars each.
Removing the EM10 and bypassing it may leave the motherboard unprotected against power supply noise. Remove and bypass at own risk!
