    Hello,

    i am wondering any could advise me on this, i bought the above from the USA and currently living in the UK, my Ao722 has been playing up and i just can't understand.

    When i turn the netbook off and plugged in the AC to charge the battery, the netbook does not power on with a fully charged battery, this is a new netbook. the only way it works sometimes is when i take the battery out and turn it on with the ac adapter, sometimes it doesn't even come on with the ac adapter.

    also, when its fully charged and does not power on, if i leave it for a while, maybe after 3-5 hours, then it powers on with the battery in it. i don't know why it does that, please help.

    cheers

    Take it back to where you got it, it sounds like it's got some problems with the power control circuits / mobo. I have an AO722 and it's a rock solid little netbook, if a tad slow.
