Yeah, thanks a lot for the help, fellas! I just remembered something that may have some bearing on all this...last night when I plugged the bugger in to charge I used the wrong charger and plugged my regular flip-phone Verizon charger in...that was the first time I got the battery with the question mark in it, and have got the same emblem when plugging in ever since...even with the right charger...I wonder?
