    Hey everyone, I bought an acer aspire one notebook about 4 months ago everything has been working fine until yesterday night when i had plugged in my charger the charging symbol on my laptop lit-up and then turned off then later it lit-up and turned off again in an uneven pattern. Today I tried to charge my laptop again but the charging symbol on my laptop is not lighting up occasionaly it will turn on for about 2-3 minutes but then it turns off If I move around the charger where it hooks to my laptop it occasionaly turns on but not for very long. I was wondering what was wrong and if I have to buy a new battery or new charger. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

    It sounds like a problem with the connection with between the power port on the computer and the charger cable. Check to see if anything is loose.
