    Hey Guys, I need your help. My FL90 doesn't run under load on AC. After 2 minutes of intensive usage, the power led and the battery led begin flashing. With it the Fl90 turns to the battery and doesn't care anymore about the AC-cord plugged in. --> Battery runs down with AC plugged in

    If I take out the battery the problem gets even worse. Like explained above it turns off the AC power supply and with it the laptop shuts off.

    In other words, I can't use my laptop for gaming and other havy loading cpu programms like 3d rendering :confused:

    I guess it is a hardware issue. So if anyone of you already had this problem and got it solved, I need your assistance please.

    Looks like the problem is your AC adapter. Replacements are available on ebay.
