Is one cell dead, or is there more to this story?
Cells 2 and 3 are probably around 4.5v each (maths how i loathe you).

Cell 1 is dead so that is why there's a 0 charge and also the reason why you're getting a charge error.

Was the one cell recently pierced, damaged, or somehow defective in some way?

I'm not an expert but there could still be a way to salvage the remaining 2 cells but the cost of labour by a hobby shop tech is probably not worth it since it may be cheaper to get a new one.

A sales rep at Pinnacle Hobbies said something about trying to connect them 3 times max and anything beyond that the cell is finished. Can't remember exactly what was said.
