Title: Power erratic
Post by: spicygyro on December 13, 2008, 08:35:47 AM
My computer opens and after a short while the screen flashes (signifying that the battery is no longer charging) for a second then the screen blanks out and stays off, but with the lights on all the buttons staying on.  To test whether the charger was the problem i disconnected the charger and this time while starting up the lap top closed within seconds (closed with no light on my buttons sometimes, but sometimes with the light).  I tried taking out the battery and keeping the charger on, but that caused the same problem as keeping the charger off.  The problem's obviously somewhere in the power process, but I have no idea what the problem is.  Please help.
