1.	Solve : Laptop not charging?
Answer» Hello. I have had my laptop for over a year and just all of a sudden it has been having CHARGING issues. At random times when I startup my computer the battery just doesn't charge. But when I shut it off the light goes orange and starts charging. Just recently when I turn it off it charges for 15 seconds then the light goes off for a second then stays on for another 15 seconds. I don't understand what is going on can someone PLEASE help me?i know on most computers if the battery is low and orage battery light comes on are you sure its not the low battery light, if not you might just need a new battery or charger, What kind of computer is it, be specific.Quote from: LtRyan5184 on June 03, 2007, 06:11:23 PM i know on most computers if the battery is low and orage battery light comes on are you sure its not the low battery light, if not you might just need a new battery or charger, What kind of computer is it, be specific. Well on my computer orange means charging. I have a Toshiba Satellite M55 laptop. I also already had an AC adapter problem with the one it came with 2 months ago. It kept making a constant squeaking sound and stopped charging all together. So I bought a replacement adapter and everything has been working fine until recently. The computer starts up and runs everything just on the battery but it does not charge at all when on.Oh and also I just took out the battery and tried to startup the laptop just on the AC power and it isn't working. I have no problem paying for a new battery or adapter I just want to know what I need to get I don't want to BUY a bunch of accessories and still be stuck with a laptop that doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated. Uh oh... I think you might have the same problem with me before, I have the Toshiba A100-SK9 and it was my first laptop, when I bought it and got home, it charged for abit but 2 days later it didn't hold a single charge. When I BROUGHT it back, they told me that my system was defective!!! So in otherwords, your system, too, MIGHT be defective.Well I have had it for nearly 4 months. It might just be the charger which I got on Ebay over a MONTH ago.I'm guessing it was a used charger ? ?The guy was claiming it was new but it was cheap price. I am thinking I should just buy another adapter. Think it is safe to say?Yep. Does it have the manuf. logo on it or is it a generic one ? ? Used electronics are similar to used cars...sometimes it's a gamble.It just says Replacement AC Adapter. You think I should just bite the bullet and buy a more expensive one?Quote from: HelpMe000 on June 05, 2007, 12:37:11 AM It just says Replacement AC Adapter.
