Re: jerky laptop with battery in

oh yeah.. about the battery... sometimes the battery have weird effects on the system. sometimes malfunctioning batteries can even stop your system from powering ON even with AC plugged in. so based on the description, i think and i may be wrong, that it is highly probable.

if you do not want to get a new battery, just have your battery tested in a repair shop or on a similar laptop. if the effect is the same, it could be the battery, if not then it could mean other things in your laptop.
