chezybezy: if its a laptop try taking the battery out, plug in the power and see if everything works as it should, i.e. your just running it off the mains. its fairly easier to know if its the battery this way.
weve all done the gaming on battery when we didnt realise moment!
morning all!
niniendowarrior: I honestly don't know at this point. The laptop wouldn't even turn on to begin with. Sigh.
ive had a single power socket just not work so try a different power socket?
if the laptop charger comes into two parts (brick and laptop power lead the 8 one) you could try swap the 8 power lead with another if you have one at home (i seem to end up with several)?
if your using a power strip try missing that out and going direct into the socket?
tried removing the battery and leaving it out long enough to discharge any residual?
does anything happen when you press the power button? led lights? fan? hdd noise? do you think its hitting post etc, could it just be the display isnt getting any inforation and thus it looks off?
again please dont take any of this to heart its basic stuff but sometimes when were techy we miss the basics and then slap ourselves in the head if we miss it?
