You may have a DC connector problem:

Symptoms of a broken power jack
1. If you wiggle the power cord or the AC Adapter connector on the back of the laptop, the power LED and battery charge LED start to flicker.
2. Battery will not charge in the laptop.

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.

Green and yellow lights flash on battery while charging

If all the lights are flashing, it normally indicated dead batteries as instructions say and I found out. Pari would have you buy a new power pack or likely high repair price to replace 2 LI-ION cells . But, unless you are very handy with electonic items, you may have no choice. We bought a 2nd unit originally and when those batteries prematurely died, I reserched and installed my own.

Battery light flashing on the front, computer will not turn on.

It sounds like your battery is completely dead and will not charge. If your battery cannot charge, its time to get a new battery or a new PC. Wish I had better advice for you. Good luck!

Flashing lightning bolt on Compaq C300

This sounds like a battery problem. The best way to test this is to remove the battery and then power the laptop up with just the power cord plugged in but no battery. If the computer boots then the battery is bad you will need a replacement. Also try letting the battery charge for a day. Be sure that the charging light is coming on when you have it plugged in.
