Ok i got a hp g60 and its weird cause the battery aint charging .. now wat techiesguru was a great success on getting it to come back on.. how ever i had to also unplug the internal battery as well and do the steps he put in the article 1. Unplug the AC adapter from the notebook PC and remove from any port replicator or docking station. 2. Remove the battery from the notebook battery compartment. 3. Press and hold down the power button for about 20 seconds. 4. Insert the battery and plug the AC adapter back into the notebook PC. 5. Press the power button to turn the notebook PC back on. now wat i dont understand is.. the battery aint charging and yet i cant use just the charger and no battery .. i get the charge light blinking 3 times and no boot up... unless i do this.. cant run it without the battery in and the charger pluged in at the same time.. cant use just the charger.. is it the ac jack, battery or charger.. now i put the charger on a voltage tester and pulled 15.90 i read on google thats about ideal... so i dont think its the charger.. can u help me pls techiesguru

From your description of your problem and the power hard disk LED lights are on, then I think the problem is in the charging circuit inside the laptop.

OR

The problem could be the battery.

If the laptop battery is more than 3 - 4 years old then the battery could be worn out. Rechargeable batteries have a finite number of charge and discharge cycles and will lose their charge capacity over time, i.e. won't charge to 100% and gradually the charge reduces until the battery won't charge up at all.

OR The battery shows a 100% charge but when the adapter is disconnected the battery drops off to zero capacity in a very short time.

If the battery drops to an unacceptable charge level then the battery needs to be replaced.

I have pulled quire a few laptop apart and have not found one that has the power socket with a plug in harnest assembly, they were all are soldered on the circuit board.
I have not the chance to pull apart a HP G60 laptop and cannot tell you if the power socket is on a harnest.
Before you junk this laptop, I suggest you do the following.
Reseat the RAM modules - remove and insert them back a few times to make sure they make proper contact.
Do the same with the CPU chip - this requires removing the fan and hear sink assembly.
Best of luck, I'm out of further suggestions.
