Same problem here. After an hour or two plugged in, coil light illuminated, it eventually does the 3-second flash. Then test it with the machine switched on and the display shows 2/3 full at most, so put it back on charge, repeat the procedure 2 or 3 times and eventually the charge shows as full.
XP consistently ignore complaints about the charging clip. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Not much help I know, but I sympathise.

I'm not familiar with any XP machines other than the Goldmaxx P4 but before doing anything else, if you can readily access the battery, check the battery holding voltage with a voltmeter followed if necessary, by a check of the charger's output voltage. I've heard before that sometimes the charge indication is incorrect. Here's hoping you get to the bottom of the problem.
