I replaced the DC card last week, just before this happened, the plug coming out of the computer was loose and I had to lift it to get power to the computer. I am thinking that maybe the power card, the one that sits under the touch pad and the batteries and CD Rom drive plug into through the drive bays may be bad. The batteries are not charging and the CD Rom is not spinning up,(the zip and floppy drives do work) If this card is bad would that at least cause some of the problems?
