I have a three-year old compaq M2000; the factory battery had steadily declined until it would hold only a few minutes' charge, so I replaced it. I plugged the computer in to charge with the new battery in place, and went to sleep. In the morning I unplugged it and turned it on, to find a low battery warning: only 24% charged. I ran it down, and plugged it in again, then left for work. Returned twelve hourse later, and still-----24%! Help?
Thanks Carl97,
For the DVD its Great. I know its not 100% related but
the main reason i post here is to say that your website solved my problem with Power Supply, but strange as it was it turned out to be the issue you mentioned regarding the LCD Screen cables comming lose.
Happy New Year

It could be a Problem with Your Powerjack and may need replacing. You can diagnose this at my website:
www.powerjackrepair.com there is also a useful DVD there to show you how to open and repair a Power Jack.
Or DC Socket.
Hi, Well, first, do you have the correct ac adapter?It's possible to have an adapter that will run the system, but not provide enough juice to run the machine AND charge the battery. Did you replace the battery with a brand new one? Thanks

Yes, I'm using the adapter which came with the computer. The cable has been repaired at the end which plugs into the computer, after the wires got disconnected or shorted out through wear-and-tear. The thing is providing enough power, s far as I can tell.
I bought a refirbished laptop and have been having trouble with the battery. I've only had it a few months and the battery came with a 30% charge. From then the battery has declined to a 20% charge. I've never been able to unplug the computer from the adapter without losing power. I recently purchased a new battery and I recieved the same results. The new battery started at a 20% charge and has not gone up at all.
