Compaq laptop my laptop was working perfectly then the battery died while i was using it. i hooked the charger up to it then all of the sudden it would not turn on and the charge light flashes. Occasionally the charge light as well as the power light will flash repeatedly very fast. Also On rare occasions the computer will seem like it is starting up for about 3 sec.(you can see all lights and hear the fan) then it turns off. The battery will not charge either. Where do i Start?

Check your FN keys. Laptops sometimes have it set up on the fn key instead of a manual switch.

Hope this works for ya/Please dont for get to Vote.

Try removing the battery and starting on AC only.

My acer laptop suddenly shutdown then it didn't turn on,the led of the charger is blinking,what is the problem?

you may have had a surge on your charger, i'd unplug it and try a different outlet. After you unplug it, remove the battery for about a minute, then when at the new location plug the battery back in and then the charger. see if that works. if it doesn't it's possible that your charger just died. Did you happen to look and see how much battery you had available when it died?

System failure in my laptop ??

Remove the battery from the computer and plug in the correct charger and see if it will power on. without the battery. if so turn off and put battery back in with power connected see if it powers up.

Hp nx 6110 was working fine but suddenly it went off and now it does not boot

Power drain would be a better solution in this case.
1.first shut down the comp
2.unplug the charger
3. remove the battery
and after press and hold the power button for 60 seconds without any charger and the battery.After the 60 seconds replug the battery and the charger and turn the computer

how old is the laptop?

either your battery has developed a fault or the laptop connectors have developed a fault therefore not registering the battery output.

also check the ac adapter.

My Compaq Pres V2000 laptop does not get on with power on switch

Take out the battery and only hook up the AC Adapter to see if the laptop turns on. If it does then you know the battery is shorting out the laptop and either has very little power to turn on the laptop or is shorting out the laptop cause its bad.

If you don't get the laptop to turn on, make sure your using a well known working wall outlet to plug the laptop to and only use the AC Adapter. If you AC Adapter is hooked up and the Green Led turns on then you know the adapter is good.

After those two steps, you can also try taking out the dvd drive and the hard drive. Then try turning on the laptop and if the laptop still doesn't turn on then the motherboard is bad in the laptop.

Compaq R3000

r u mention for battery light?if is it true,then the light is blinking because of your laptop want to make sure the power supply charge that battery.if it is in charging condition,the light on.but if the light goes off,that mean, the battery is already full.

But when u use adaptor without battery, the light will goes off because no charging session is in progress which has same behaviour with battery full(during battery full,no charging session occur)
