    Hello there.

    I had earlier today my 3415W laptop (with a 9cell battery) on chare in my room, when I entered I noticed that the blue light for the AC being connected was not on, I checked the comp. and yes indeed it was not charging anymore.

    I then looked at the adapter to see if it had been disconnected from the socket, it hadnt.

    I tried to restart the computer, no difference

    I tried to remove the battery and just start it with the AC adapter, did not start.

    Any ideas? The battery is down to 10% and I got some important stuff for work and family that I need to have from it.

    So basicly. Please help if you got any clue about it.

    cheers

    This feels so random now.

    I just rebooted this computer due to some updates, meanwhile I thought "Hey why not plug in the cable once more, cant hurt to atleast try.." and suprisingly it just started to charge the battery, the lcd indicator is blinking blue. wt* is up with this? It needed a ~24hours "cooldown" or something? :p

    cheers anyway, hopefully this wont happen again

    maby it got overheated?

    or then it was just a loose contact somewhere, check the cable that its not damaged
