PaulDW Posted April 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 Be prepared for an awfully un-technical answer...It won't turn on at all. The green light for the power supply (DC) is on, however the battery led is just constantly flashing amber. I try pressing the power on, and it doesn't click in and power up as it should. I have tried removing the battery with just the DC power in, and this does not work either. Leaving the battery in without a DC connection, does not work at all, and I know that the battery was fully charged. If I press the power on, the computer clicks, makes a beeping noise then just dies again... This just started happening yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
