Hmm, maybe one cell was overdischarged and now is too low? Are all the cells about evenly warm at the end of the charge? They should be. If one is cool, then it may be bad.

You could try charging at the lowest rate you have on the charger for a VERY long time and see if that doesn't wake them up.

If you have a 10ohm resistor (1/2 watt), you could use that to discharge each cell. Just keep a voltmeter on it so you can monitor the cell voltage. Once it gets to about 1v, go on to the next one.
