    [hi guys

    im working on a acer 4620z it had a original dc power plug that got broken
    i orderd a new one and replaced it ,,
    it powerd up worked fine for few hours wile testing , then it switched to battey power , so i figured i would check the solder points one looked weak so i re did it , and i put her back together and powerd it up again ,

    she powerd up fine and about the time it was done loading it cut back to battery power , so im not quite sure whats going on could there be a issue in the new dc plug or could somthing be getting hot and poping the solder on that leg of the new plug ?

    thanks mdel747
