do any of you Nelson techs have a laptop power pack that fits a compaq presario r3000 like this one (www.laptopbatteries.co.nz) as I have a laptop that will not charge and want to try another power pack to see if mine is dead.

When I plug it in the charge light comes on for about 30 secs then goes out and it does not charge or run as the battery is flat. I know the laptop works OK as I have had it running before the battery went flat.

Thanks

:thanks

678331 2008-06-14 21:44:00 Thanks so should I look at replacing the battery? If I took it out would it then run on mains as at the moment it will not? gary67 (56)

Should work without the battery as long its receiving power. :badpc:

678334 2008-06-15 05:15:00 Take the battery out and try.If it runs then it is the battery and if not it could be yr power pak. kjaada (253)
678335 2008-06-15 05:46:00 I sort of got it going again today not sure what I've done. It will not run at all with the battery in. So fingers crossed it will keep going for now and I will keep an eye on it. gary67 (56)
