My daughter gave me her Gateway 3520GZ. It was having a pwr issue with the cord. She thought it was easier to just buy a new laptop!
The computer wont stay on unless I press on the pwr cord. The L shaped part of the pwr cord right at where it fits into the pwr port on the computer.
It is getting worse - harder to keep a contact. A wiggle at first now a more than gentle push (continual) is needed to keep pwr on. I am clueless on the battery. It may need to be repalced but since I cant get continous pwr (unless I hold it for ????) to charge it up - who knows!!!
Any ideas. I have searched all pwr issues and cant find this mentioned. New motherboard? New power something? If I go in anywhere for help I believe they could say anything and I would be out Big Bucks?
thank you
