    The power supply seems to be working (light comes on and stuff) but the laptop doesn't seem to detect it when its plugged in (light on the laptop won't come one). It won't even run off the battery right now and the battery isn't dead. Its almost as if whatever connects the both the battery/AC adapter to the rest of the pc isn't working.

    I bought it last jan and hadn't had any problems with it up until this point.

    Now that I think about it I think this happened once before but after turning it over a couple times and unplugging and then plugging the battery back in and then the power cord it started working again.

    Hmm.. it seems to be working again now.

    Anyone have any idea what could be causing this or how to fix it? It is pretty inconvenient to not have it work when you need it to.

    i had a problem with my psu. the light on it would go out and not charge my laptop. u seem to have a different problem. i think it's your laptop not the psu. gateway replaced my psu under warranty. i say contact gateway.
