It might be a hardware problem. Obviously older 3310's had incorectly sized resistanses and condensators on one of the chips.

try another battery, I just condemmed two batteries that act that way

A new empty battery needs about 8hrs of charging before it can stretch its lifetime to the max. Our battery runs at 3.6V and lets say if the voltage in the battery is less than 3.6V then when you charge, you wont be able to see any indicator. Try leave it to charge for around an hour or 2. See what happened. If still wont work, try using desktop charger to charge. If it still dont work, try use an external power supply and "short" the battery for a few seconds. its works for me sumtimes. Hope it work for you.
