    Hi Guys,

    I have had my notebook for about 8 months and recently everything stopped working. Won't even boot up, when trying to boot up using from AC mains the LED on the power supply flashes non-stop and also the same when connected to a docking station,

    Has anyone seen this before?

    John

    Could be a bad power supply...

    I've tried another power supply that I know works on it, and it still continues to have this flash green light on the power supply.

    What internal components power the laptop?

    The power connector inside the notebook could have come loose.

    I remember on my old, old notebook this happened once. It was because I was sent the wrong replacement adapter, though.
