    It seems that my msi-1722 is not charging the battery. I hadnt noticed it since its always plugged inall the time, but have read that you need to do and EC reset after a bios flash and that could fix the issue. So this morning I pulled the battery and AC power and let it sit for 20-30 minutes. Plugged everything in and powered it up. Windows sat at 3% and wouldnt move. I have left it with windows shut down and plugged into AC power with hopes it will charge.

    I am running the gx-720 bios, not sure if that has any effect on this or not. I am thinking about flashing it with 1.0s for the 1722 and seeing if that helps. Are there any connectors on the MB I can check, or can I throw a meter on the pins in the battery bay to see if the MB is sending juice to the battery. (Which pins?)
