HELP PLEASE. Hello, can anyone please help on this. I disassembled the laptop yesterday and all inside seems good. Also got the DC jack re-soldered. But problem remains.
The laptop just wont run on battery, a new one. It is a 3rd party battery. I was having this problem with my original battery so I got a new one. The original battery also had become very weak and was holding charge only for 30-40 minutes max
When I remove the power cord, it just immediately shuts down.
When I switch off the power, it shuts after few seconds, not immediately.
Sometimes while working, the AC power indicator suddenly goes off and the laptop goes on battery and works till battery drains. Just happens by itself. To get it back to AC I have to remove the power cord and plug it in. Of course, as soon as I remove the cord, the laptop shuts.
Any suggestions before I go for a new battery again.
