Damnit...

For some reason after a certain amount of time my laptops stop charging. I can try different chargers and batteries but none of them work. It can't be the battery because they charge in other computers and other chargers work on other laptops and just not on mine.

It's just happened again for the second time...I turn it on and notice that the battery power is going down despite the fact that the power source is plugged in. I tried putting it in different outlets. Nothing. What could be doing this?

My first guess would be a bad cord. Have you tried playing with it to see if it changes anything?

Had a similar problem with mine, except it was that the DC converter board wasnt fully soldered in. I suggest you mess around with cords first, and if that doesnt work, maybe take it to a repair shop. I doubt you want to start soldering stuff inside your laptop.

On the first laptop it was the chord but it got to a point where it wouldn't work on ANY chord.

On another forum I had a guy tell me something about making sure it was properly soldered. Thanks! I guess I'll have to go see about that with a pro...
