a4tdi130 Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 The Latitude's will boot up without a battery inserted so it won't be the battery. If you plug the charger in and switch the plug on, you'll get a light on the laptop - does this appear? I think the charger itself should have a green light on it aswell. If the charger has a green light, but there is no light on the laptop, then it's likely to be something internal. If there is no light fitted, leave it on for an hour and see if it gets warm, which indicates it's working. Also if you pull the battery out they normally have a "test" button on the back which shows you some lights indicating how much charge is left in. If this has some charge, it means the mobo has probably died. If it has no charge, then it means the power supply is not reaching the battery so likely to be a less serious fault. Shame you aren't closer to manchester, I've got 4 spare latitudes sitting on my desk, a few batteries, a few power supplies, etc...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomk Posted July 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 ok dont the batt check thing , the lights dont move , the power supply light goes green when you plug it in , but when you plug it in the laptop the light goes out ? any ideas ? i need to sell it this week regardless but if its working its worth a lot more !

a4tdi130 Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 If the charger light is going out when you plug it in to the laptop, it's very possible the power supply that's faulty. It could be the laptop that's somehow shorting out the connection, but my money would be on the power supply. Don't hold me to that though as I've never had it happen to me, but power supplies do sometimes fail - and it's more logical than the laptop suddenly shorting out the connection.
