    The power supply plug from the power supply went bad on this notebook. bought a replacement plug from Ratshack and blue light lit and all is fine, right?

    Wrong!

    I then try to power up unit and the blue lights above the keyboard will light only for a second and then shut off!

    You can press the power button all day long and those blue lights will light, just for a second, and then go off.

    The battery seems to have charged up some, in that I can disconnect the power supply and the same on~off situation occurs with JUST the battery for a power source.

    Did a google and some said, 1) remove battery hold power button down,2) remove cmos battery, 3) check memory. tried all of those and NFG!

    I then read some replies to my google query, and read that the video chip may have overheated and unseated a fews pins? Are they serious?

    Anyhow/way can some one shed some light on this problem?

    thanks
