This a probelm with recharging the battery

This a new problem that has just appeared on my eMachines D620 laptop after a year of faultless performance. Now, the battery will not charge when the computer screen is on: I get an intermittant alarm and the charging light flashing on and off. The pwer meter says "plugged in, not charging". However, the battery will re-charge with no problem if the lid is shut and it is in hibernate mode. Hss anyone else experienced this problem? Is it easy to fix? Many thanks! Malcolm

Possibility is that your laptop's adapter's output is no longer capable of supplying enough power to charge the battery & operate the laptop simultaneously. Please try a replacement adapter & check if it resolves your problem.

Another possibility:
There could be a problem with the battery. A fast check to determine whether you have a problem with the power adapter, power cord or the laptop's battery is to turn off the laptop, remove the battery, connect the power adapter, turn on the laptop & see if it works.
If the laptop works directly from the power adapter with the battery removed, then the power adapter is good. In this case we can suspect that the battery is defective & needs to be replaced.

I want to fix a d260 emachine with black screen using hy hp laptopwhat do I do

you must be new to laptop repair.

parts don't interchange at all, just the HDD If lucky and if the rear HDD actually word this old..
HP Laptop not stated, so....
better is desktops with ATX parts inside, that fit.
The screen dead, battery out and only AC power most times.
the CCFL backlamps dead more are this old. 99% NOW.
your PC is 11 years old (2008) and has CCLF.
acer.com now owns Emachines, just incase that helps,
my guess is Acer when they bought emachines in 2007
renamed it to Acer D620 and added LED back lamps.
some time later.
ahhhh I see your angle YES HP has D620 to, called lattitude
and is not related at all. HP is usa, acer is china.
the D620 came in many sub models.d620-nnnnn
the nnnn means they are using different features for sure screens.
so.... there is no answer and the Acer.com seems to forget the PC exited. but I can't guess the brand name, like Aspire or?

Emachines D620 laptop swtich on with no display.. cpu fan runs for 2 seconds and to switch on the laptop i have to take off charger and battery

Remove the main battery and charger from the laptop, press and hold power for 60 seconds, if this fails the motherboard has major issues and should be checked by a technician.

Is any cheap battery for laptop d620

Hi - i've ran a D620 now running a D630 and yes the battery life is extremely poor even when the battery is new.
The option above will give you extra - you can also buy a moduler battery that will fit into the CDROM port which will give you even more!
http://www.google.co.uk/products?hl=en&q=d620%20modular%20battery&cr=countryUK%7CcountryGB&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wf

or ebay is your best bet...
