I think my 3004 over heated when I left it on a leather chair.
When I press the on button, an orange light in the front of the unit flashes six times. The computer does nothing.

The first thing you must must check if the AC Adapter is working, because, even if the battery is bad the AC Adapter must allow the notebook to turn on. Check if there is any light turned on on the AC Adapter. Now, there can be several other reasons why the notebook is not powering up - - A bad hard drive. You can remove the hard drive and then try turning on the notebook - Bad RAM. Again the RAM can be removed and check if the notebook powers up We can have several other reasons why the notebook is not turning on. Those are just some general issues and common resolutions Please revert back with further observations.

Dell m5110 laptop won't charge new battery and ac adapter is not recognized in bios
Try another AC cord/charger with the EXACT same specs as original. Is the battery a genuine Dell battery, if not return it? Some aftermarket laptop batteries don't play well with your computer, the pin-out connections aren't correct and MAY be a fire hazard.

Averatec 3700 notebook is charged but will not power on, nothing happens when power button is pushed even when power cord is plugged in
Try to remove the battery and turn the computer on with only the AC adapter connected. If it works then the battery is failing. If it does not there is something wrong with the motherboard or the AC adapter. hopefully it is just the AC adapter. Try to borrow an AC adapter from a friend or anybody else. Make sure that the current and power rating is exactly the same. Or else you might end up with a burned laptop. It the known working AC adapter works, then it is your charger. Buy a new one.

Hi, my laptop crashes when the ac adaptor is plugged in yet it will charge the battery fine when the laptop is shut down.
Problem description: The laptop shuts off when AC power adapter is plugged in. The laptop works fine on battery power but as soon as you connect it to AC adapter, the laptop turns off.
Possible cause: 1. Power adapter failure.
2. Motherboard failure.
Possible troubleshooting steps and repair solution: First of all, test the power adapter. Make sure the adapter outputs correct voltage. It's possible that the output voltage is not correct and the laptop shuts down to prevent the damage. Test your laptop with another known good power adapter.
If the problem still exists, even after replacing the adapter, most likely it's the motherboard failure. Replace the motherboard.

Most probably this is caused by the battery charging circuit inside your laptop. It looks like it is not charging the battery. If this is the case you won't be able to fix it yourself. You and should send it for repair.

Dell xps m1210 won't power up with new battery. Check notes.
If it is working fine with a fresh battery then it is not a motherboard problem. It is either a bad ac adapter jack on the motherboard or the actual ac adapter cord is not working. Try cables2go.com as they have replacement ac adapters for almost everything under the sun. Hope this helps.

Bad decision with new AC adapter for M105-s3004?
Hi,
if you look at the bottom of the laptop, you,ll see a voltage rated input. i.e 19v-3.1A or similar.
providing the plug fits, and the voltages are the same, you can,t do much damage to either battery or motherboard.
you can buy universal voltage packs now for laptops, which usually run from 15volts to 19-20 volts.
And several different connectors. for different models.
Of course the manufacturers want you to buy theres, and at thier top notch prices, but a replacements every bit as good. although may not be as superior quality.
check the voltage rated input underneath, if it,s the same.
Use it.
Mike @ compurepair.
