The issue could be caused by a defective battery, faulty internal connection, or a problem with the main board. Suggested actions include verifying all external connections, allowing the battery to charge for 6 hours, checking that the battery contact harness is not damaged and is securely connected with the correct polarity, and replacing the battery if the problem persists. If the issue continues, the main board may need to be replaced.
