    Hi, I bought this laptop used and without a charger. I purchased approriate charger (amps / wattage / connector) and there seems to be this kind of problem:

    When using laptop and charging battery there seems to be problems in charging, like it would stop charging briefly and then continue. If I have setting which tells the computer to dim screen when on battery the screen will of course adjust brightness back and forth and in Ubuntu it will display "battery discharging" or "battery recharging". When the battery is full there is no problems.

    What could be the problem? DC Board, battery or charger?

    SOLUTION FOUND: It is something about the charger I guess, tried with 120W genuine Fujitsu -charger and problems disappeared.
