Re: HP Pavilion N5412, Power

Hi Mike,

Welcome to the world of laptops. Basically, it sounds like the battery is dead, and the laptop is trying to run off AC power. The only problem is that it sounds like the connection between the power jack and the motherboard has been broken. If you are comfortable with opening up the laptop, you can resolder the connection if you are good at soldering.
