I have a HP Photosmart M525 and I put new rechargable batteries in it and all it does is turn on for a second then the blue light blinks and it turns itself off. Any ideas whats going on with it? These batteries have been charged and I don't undertand what the problem is with it. I can only assume that the problem lies with the batteries. Rechargeable batteries can lose their life after being recharged too many times. Try putting other batteries into the camera. If that works, the old rechargeable ones should be taken to a recycle center. i would try a different set of batteries to isolate if the problem is with the batteries |
