Does the battery hold a charge??? And or the power cord might have a frayed wire inside of the insulation somewhere (usually on the ends where it plugs in somewhere wall, computer, or either side of the power box) and it doesn't always charge or keep the computer powered??? I had a problem like this with one of my Clamshells yoyo cord and the battery would only keep me going for around 15-20 mins, but I picked up on this right away because of the lighted ring around the plug on the computer... Green means it was charged up and orange means the battery was charging and then one day I noticed no light so that was telling me there was a problem with the power cord!!! Most of the laptops don't have this light so there is no way to see this... CoolKat
