Help ME!!! Compaq Presario

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
For quite some time now my laptop has randomly shut off, has swapped from AC power to Battery power on its own, and has not been able to hold a charge. I bought a new AC Power cord and was still having the same problems. Recently I came across a problem with my computer (don't know exactly what was wrong) but a few of my computer nerd friends told me to restore my computer and everything will be fine. The only way I could do this was through safe mode. I restored the first disc without any problems. I put in the second disc to complete the process and my computer shut off in the middle of it. Now the laptop wont turn on, it wont hold a charge, wont charge the battery, wont run on just AC power, ive tried holding the power up button for over a minute, I've tried everything that compaq.com has on their trouble shooting forums. When the battery is plugged in with the AC cord the lightning bolt blinks. So I can assume from this that the battery and AC cord are both fine and it is probably something more severe.

Please Help!!!

No noise no beep no nothing. Led of the lightning bolt only flashes with the battery in plugged into the wall. Nothing happens with the battery out and it plugged into the wall.

Thanks.

well, we can try with another AC adapter. u mentioned AC cord replaced but not the brick itself, so that would be the next step i'd be looking at

or at least check that the output from ur current adapter is up to specs

cheers ...
