very interesting .. you should forward this to Sager!! Talk to Allan or David there.

their driver site was down, but it is now up. there are no vista drivers that i saw for either the 9860 or 9890 (that's all i bothered to look for)

has anyone else noticed this?

this sounds familiar ... i believe the motherboard is going bad ... something got burned out where the ac adapter plugs into the motherboard... just a vague recollection from another poster

Yes, i move this puppy all over the place ... home - office - clients etc etc ... the issue has not, as yet, re-exhibited itself. Sager tech support asked me to take a picture of the "phenomenon" if it happens again. ...

History: have had 2 motherboard replacments on my original 9860. currently have a 9890 motherboard but still using the original 6800 nvidia card. the 9890 board went in August of 2006. have had no problems until this...

Yiorgo ... leave this thread for future reference - a fellow greek -

i'm hoping drivers will work for my hybrid ... my laptop was orginally a 9860 but after 2 motherboard blowouts, i have the 9890 motherboard... the only vestige of my old 9860 is the nvida 6800 video card

I hope this is ok to post this; however, here is a response from Allen at Sager Tech Support: Hi George, we do not have the driver for Vista yet. Please hold on. We hope all the manufacturers will release the device drivers for Vista...

your motherboard is dead ... this is not a power issue as it relates to the ac adapter or battery, but rather the connection with the motherboard. get ready to spend $400 - $500 for new motherboard.
