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. I tried 2 different power adapters and neither worked so I guess it's the charging/power circuit inside the laptop. On Jul 20, 2008, at 2:42

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
