Laptop isn't working

My daugther has a Compaq Presario v5000, it isn't working. I purchased a new battery thinking that was the problem. I have had it charging for over two hours.The only response I get when I try to power up is a flashing light. My daugther says that its the signal to charge the battery. Nothing shows on the monitor and it doesn't make a sound. She has had this laptop since Dec. 2006 and has been very active on it, including leaving it on overnight. Is there any hope of saving this laptop or has she fried her first laptop.

Have the charger tested, the original battery may have been flat, because of charger failure rather than battery failure. try an automotive connector if one is available

Compaq Presario V5000 does not come on

The solution to your problem lies in one of the following three areas:

1.) Your charger is faulty and is therefore not able to pass power to your laptops battery.

2.) The charging connector on the laptop has come loose from the contacts. Therefore a bad connection.

3.) Your battery is faulty.

I think possibility 2 is the most likely, although you will have to test possibility 3 by removing the battery and plugging in your charger and seeing if the laptop powers on.If it does power on then that rules out possibility 1 and 2 leaving a faulty battery.

V5000 problems

what you need 2 do is either take the whole laptop back 2 where you brought it or even the battery cause you have a faulty battery.

most laptop batterys last for at least 5-10 years and after that no matter how much you charge them up they alwayz seem to be flat.

so my suggestion is get a new battery or take it back to the place that you brought it from and than get it replaced for free as long as you have your recept.
