Oh, the joy of laptops.

Today i NOTICED that my laptop was doing the famous battery/charging problem with the movement of the ac cord. While this did not surpise me, i then noticed that when i had it on ac power, the battery would be at say, 67% and it would not charge. If it said chargeing, it wouldn't be chargeing. So i popped the battery out and noticed it still ran. I then bent the cord so that it would say chargeing on battieres, and lo' and behold it shut off. It would power back on with the cord bent to when it would register on ac power and run fine. I left it in this position overnight and it ran fine and hiberanited fine, sides when the cord MANAGED to move and it would say chargeing/on ac power but the battery power would be dropping.

So i ethier have a flawed bat, the dc card/power connector isn't working correctly, or the cord is bad...I'am assumeing it's the cord because of a few reasons right now, but i'am wondering what others take on this might be.

I know if i have to send it off for warranty repair (its under three years old with a 3 year warranty) this GIRL will die without her IRC or MUDS..i think theres a SPARK problem on the cord or a short where its not chargeing the battery.

Edit: Yes,i am trying to get a second cord to test if it is the ac cord.If its still under warranty there is no reason NOT to send it in as trying to fix it yourself could void the warranty...

patio.  

p.s. This actually sounds LIKE it could be the power connector on the MBoard itself which is another reason to let them handle it.
