Since last night I've had a problem getting my laptop to charge.
I leave it plugged in for most of the time and it used to show the green
light as being completely charged. Last night I noticed while still on
ac power that the critical warning came on and the icon for being on ac
was gone and the battery with the red x popped up. Well I continued to
fool around with the cord until it finally showed it was charging again
and then I went to bed.
When I got on the computer this morning it only lasted about 5 minutes
before shutting down due to lack of power. I played with the cord for a
few minutes and finally got it up and working again. I watched as the
battery indicator got up to 5% charged and it just crashed again. This
time I can't get it up at all. When plugged into the ac it still
doesn't recognize it and the yellow charging light won't come on.
I've tried different plugs to no avail. Any ideas what the problem
could be??
I have a Presario X1000 running windows XP Home. Thanks.
