Dell Latitude D505 Problem

Having a start-up problem with battery pack in place and using wall power.
Computer will start fine without battery pack. If I remove the battery and 'really' slap the battery in, the majority of time the computer starts. Computer says the battery is at 100% charge. If I put in the battery pack during startup, the computer locks up.
Once computer is running I can unplug and run off of battery just fine.
Anyone have any ideas.
Sincerely,
drwho
P.S. I am not all that computer literate.

Just to fully understand your problem, Your laptop wont boot up with the battery pack installed? What i understand is that your laptop only boots up from direct power while the battery pack is removed.

Maybe you should clean the batterys +/- and the battery compartment? Could be oxidation.

Yes that is correct. When starting with battery in, keyboard status lights come on, as do the power on and hard drive lights on the device status area. However, the keyboard lights then go out. It is like the hard drive is not getting enough power to start.
