Thread Starter 
I understand you can run off the adapter , But with the battery installed , i cannnot . If i plug adapter in like Iam charging it ( not turning power on ) the light in front lights up just briefly then nothing . I also can't power laptop on .
If i run the adapter with no battery in laptop everything works fine . What causes that ? Just a bad battery ? motherboard is new and so is the cord .

If it is the battery that causes the non-start, then yes, I would look into trying with another battery first.

cheers ...

Agreed. Although it could be something in the charging circuitry, my first "fix" would be to try a known good battery.

A bad battery can cause this in certain models. Which is yours?

I have even seen a cmos battery cause powering on issues with some specific sony notebooks
