Not that long ago my boyfriend was working on my laptop and it decided to turn itself off. To troubleshoot, i tried taking the battery out and turning it on with just the charger plugged in, to no avail. I then tried taking the battery out, holding the on button for 30 secs then putting the battery back in, which didnt work, the lights dont come on when the charger is plugged in. I then opened it up to check the motherboard for faulty connections or blown components, and there werent any. I even changed the lithium battery on the motherboard in case it wasnt being powered. Still not working
However, my dad mentioned a few lamps that had been blown by the mains socket my boyfriend had the laptop plugged into, so if a new charger wont fix the problem does anyone have any other ideas as to what is wrong?
Oh and it's a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li1705 running on Vista, if that helps
Thanks
