Hello all,
I recently had to re-install the AC/DC Power Adapter on my laptop, which involved taking the whole thing apart and soldering the new jack onto the motherboard. I'm now having a curious problem; when I play video games that are very taxing on the computer hardware-wise, my AC Adapter shorts out and the laptop switches to battery power (causing performance issues in-game).
The thing is, when I play less hardware-intensive games, the short-out does not occur. This leads me to the conclusion that as more power is demanded by the GPU and CPU (when they're under high stress), some threshold voltage is reached which shorts out the adapter. So, I'm trying to figure out how I would go about limiting the performance of my components such that they wouldn't hit that threshold voltage. Any ideas?
