I have tried to do the recovery charging thing and it seemed to do nothing. Does it take along time to work normally? It hasn't moved at all yet. Also I'm not sure what you mean by how long it's flat? If you mean like how many days it's been like this it's probably been a couple weeks. I know I shouldn't have put it off this long but I've been really busy. Anyways thanks a lot guys for the help but I'm starting to think I'll have to buy a new battery which really bums me out haha
