Hi Everyone
It seems this is a common problem with laptops judging by this forum, but I have not found an answer that seems to relate to my problem.
All started when the battery life slowly reduced from around an hour ( a month ago) to 20 minutes, then 5 minutes (a week ago) until now when you turn it on there is nothing on the screen but the power light turns green as does the battery light, it sounds as if it is booting up, then it turns off, the battery light turns orange... then it repeats the cycle and the lights turn green again. We can also here some slight 'clicking' when this happens.
We bought a new power lead about a month ago so I am pretty sure this is still working becuase there is a light on the power supply.
We have also tried removing the battery and just running the laptop from the adapter, but this does nothing.
We also bought a new battery as it seemed to make sense that the battery might be at fault becuase of the reduced battery life... but this has done nothing.
Any ideas would be greatly apreciated as I have a large premier project on the laptop which I need to finish in the next two weeks.
Thanks in advance
Rob
