    I've already tried all of the BIOS revisions. I should say clearly that I have a legitimate copy of Windows, so I don't don't need to rearm it. I was hoping a modded BIOS could help with my battery issues because the person who replied to imatrix's post on his modded Dell 1735 BIOS mentioned that the battery warning messages went away.

    1. make sure you run it as Administrator
    2. your bios does not have any password protected

    Damn, the BIOS by imatrix didn't work. Oh well, thanks to all that tried, I guess I'll keep using my old battery for now.

    Hilarious! I switched to the dell cert, and it worked great. Thanks so much!!! Stupid mistake - I could have sworn all the certs were interchangable on my last computer. I saw it said 2.0 cert, so i steered clear of the dell cert initially.
