 I had the same ( TP770X for me ).
 It mens battery dead .

 I bought it on www.aboutbatteries.com=20
 expensive but good service and good battery

 But keep your dead battery to use it when Y are on AC.

 This will save your new one for times U really did it.

 ( Thoses batteries are dead after 300-600 charge )
