Re: [H] Laptop problem
Power adapter may be bad, or the charging/power circuit inside the laptop is toast.. If it won't run plugged into the wall, that's not good news.

Anyone know what could be wrong with it? I'd pull the battery and see if it boots with wall power only. Could be a fan failure, I guess. T For the brief second it is on I can feel the air blow out the side so it's not the fan. I tried pulling the battery and plugging it into the wall and the laptop wouldn't power up at all.

Re: [H] Laptop problem
When plugged into the wall is the green plug LED lit? (sounds like its not getting power from the AC adaptor so its trying to use the battery to turn on only its drained too much to fully power the laptop) Eli -Original Message- > At 03:11 PM 20/07/2008, Jason Carson wrote: >>Hello, >> >>I have a laptop here that when you turn it on, it stays on for about a >>second, flashes "IBM Thinkpad" then turns off.
