Hi,

I hope you can help.

My Acer laptop that I've had for about 2 years is now is no longer charging properly.

It will not run of the mains at all. I tried taking the battery off but it still won't work - it will power up for about 3-4 seconds then just shut down.

Bizzarely, it charges the battery so at least I can use it, but as its not got an M processor the battery life is about 45 minutes!

Sometimes it won't charge the battery at all (It will flash orange instead of just charging) and I have to switch it on and off a few times just to get it charging.

If it is charging and I switch it on, it will stop charging and go straight to battery power.

I took it to my local PC super store and they seemed baffled saying they'd never heard of such an issue!!...

Can anyone help?

I've tried buying a new charger which made no difference at all.

Its a ACER TM2702WLMI.

Thanks,
Gordon.
