Laptop Question

It could be a controller, probably in the battery. It charges, albeit slowly, so leave it plugged in as much as possible. Does the computer work OK sans battery? If you can come up with an interchangeable battery and power supply, you could switch things until you figure it out, it's probably nothing that would be worth fixing.

I need a motherboard for 1, my son has had it for a couple of years now, waiting to find 1 on E-Bay, I doubt it's worth it to fix it when you can buy a new duo-core for 100 more with a larger drive and more memory.

I prefer the desktop when I'm home even though it's been redone 4 or five times since 99.

 

Parts for these things are crazy, way more than it is worth unless it will be the only thing you need. Glad it works either way, a new power supply is pricey, as well, not as bad as a battery, though.

The one I had was probably worth fixing, it was a business class with two power supplies and a nice bright screen. The keyboard was almost as good as the 1 the Lenovo has.
