Hi, i hava this lenovo battery Lenovo L21M3PF0 - Chip BQ40Z697A TI V5.01 , it from a brand new, never used laptop. I test it and it was locked, becasuse one cell was less than 3000mv, it was stored for a long time. 

I charge the cell, and the can unseal, and unlock it. But I don't have output led, it can't be charged or discharged. 

Can some one help me with that one please?

 Charge Cell 2 to same level like other cells. Because there is big unbalance.

  Chip is not locked, because PFF is zero and Charge and Discharge MOSFETs are active. 

 Inspect the fuse on the pcb.

 It was explained many times on the forum. Use search option.
