-- Posted by SpottedTiger at 9:30 am on July 19, 2008 The power chord to my laptop is plugged in, but it's still saying it's running from battery. I've tried pushing it in harder, blowing it etc. What can I do?   -- Posted by dark eric at 9:31 am on July 19, 2008 blow harder -- Posted by Jaems at 9:31 am on July 19, 2008 Is it on at the wall? Sure sounds obvious now, but when you check and it's not turned on.. it will suck. -- Posted by SpottedTiger at 9:31 am on July 19, 2008 Quote: from Jaems at 5:31 pm on July 19, 2008 Is it on at the wall?

Yeah it is :/ -- Posted by aisling1991 at 9:32 am on July 19, 2008 on at the wall? plugged in properly at the wall and at the adapter? -- Posted by its only me at 9:32 am on July 19, 2008 ignore it, if it runs of the mains it will work regardless of wt it says - save wt ur doing every 5mins if ur doing anything important though -- Posted by Cily at 9:35 am on July 19, 2008 If there are two parts to the chord check to see that those are connected. Otherwise the chord might be "broken" for a number of reasons. It could also be your battery. Maybe even something else. -- Posted by Jaems at 9:35 am on July 19, 2008 There might be a battery failure.. Try turning the laptop on and off again, if the same thing happens you may have to get it repaired. Hope it's under warranty.
