Hello. It sounds like either...

1. Your power adapter is damaged/not working. Look and see if a LED is illuminating on the power adapter. If it is chances are it is working fine and the problem may lie on your laptop. If not replace it. The easiest way to tell if your power adapter is bad is to go out to Wal-Mart or your local technology store and purchase one of their universal power adapters. They are expensive but you can buy it, try it, and return it if it does not solve the problem.

OR

2. The DC pin on your laptop is bent/broken/loose. Look at where your power adapter plugs in on your laptop. Get a paper clip, bend it out to make a long paper clip and slightly push its tip on the pin inside your laptop. If the pin moves chances are either the DC pin needs to be soldered down or needs to be replaced. The part is usually cheap around $10 but the labor can cost more than $50

Hello.

The most common reasons for power issues are the battery, power jack and power adapter/cord.

Power off and remove the battery. If the laptop powers on with just the adapter connected, your battery is faulty.

If you move/wiggle the power adapter at the point where it connects to the laptop, and the power goes off and on, the power jack is the problem.

The power jack is inside the laptop and either needs soldering or replacement. If a power jack problem, it should be addressed by someone knowledgeable.

If no change, the power adapter is probably faulty and needs replacement.

Hope this helps.

hello
sounds like the blend door is hanging up or is broken look under the dash toward the center of the car while someone is moving the switch you should see it move or get caught on something bent or broken make sure you check both sides if you have dual climate control
good luck

If the fuse is not on the outside of the amp, usually near the live input. it will be inside the amps casing. you may have to look around carefully as maybe under parts or hidden. if not on ouside of amp, 100% its inside the amp

When humidistat is at ouside temperature that may be a lower humidity setting than is in your home. Doesn't sound like there is a problem. If it is too dry in home you can set it above ouside temp to turn on. The ouside temp setting is estimate that you will not get condensation on windows.

If you can remove the bezel with the power button, you will probably find the power button actuator is broken. Glue the pieces back together with ABS cement or metal filled epoxy such as J. B. Weld, using a toothpick to apply it. Don't use too much, and make sure you fit the pieces tightly together so you don't change the mechanical dimensions to the point that it won't work right. (A solvent weld using methyl ethyl ketone will probably work at least as well as anything else, but that is a very nasty chemical - use proper safety measures)

If the actuator looks OK, find the tiny switch operated by the power button actuator. It is probably a black plastic square about 4 to 8 mm across with a tan or black button in the center, and four metal tabs coming out of two opposite sides going down to the circuit board. Gently test it to make sure it clicks when you press it. If you don't feel anything move inside, the snap dome in the switch is cracked and collapsed, and the switch will have to be replaced. (Note: the battery should be removed and the A/C adapter unplugged while you are working inside - a dropped screw in the wrong place on a live board will ruin your day. Also, do not touch anything on the board besides the switch without taking appropriate precautions to avoid delivering static electricity shocks to the system.)

check to see if you can hear a hum from the charger it self , push the box hard againts ear if its humbing charger is ok, if you cant hear anything from it check fuse to plug. if this is ok then charger is broken.

If charger is ok check the conection into the laptop if it feels loose and when u move it slightly it goes on and off then possible conection to laptop prob.

If this conection is ok and the charger is humbing and working, could be a possible internal switch gone in the laptop that decides to charge and not charge when battery is full. These are always failling on laptops but hopfully its not this.

If you find the charger is broken search ebay for a new or secound hand one, aint to expensive. hope this helps

It sounds like the switch might be OK mechanically but not electrically. Have a look to see if you can check the connections on the switch. Perhaps there is a broken or loose or bad solder joint.

1.If the switch slider is stuck from sliding by the laptop's case somehow, you open the laptop, and free it. Then see what transpired making this happen.

2.Upon opening the laptop, and finding that the switch itself is broken, (Mechanism inside the switch has broken), you remove the switch by unsoldering it, and then replace it.

3.You take it to a qualified computer repair shop, and have them do it.
My money is on the switch mechanism has broken inside the switch, and needs replacing.

If you need the Maintenance and Service Guide, in order to open the laptop to service this switch, here it is,
