    more like the AC adaptor is defective. your power settings should not prevent you from booting up!

    but i can power on the pc using adapter while the battery is attached to it. also, charging works properly. the only thing i need to mention is that i bought the notebook in canada and now i'm staying in china where the voltage is aboot 220v. i never removed battery before so i do not know if the high voltage damaged the adapter.

    Read what it says on the power adapter. If it does not say input voltage 120/220 or something like that, you have fried it.
