Hi,
I have a MSI laptop MS-1451 which I bought 3 and half years ago.
Now the battery has completely gone....
For the past one month I have noted that before I get to work on the system(in AC).....it switches off....The longer I keep the laptop switched off , the no: of times I need to press the power button on to get it started is higher
i.e I have windows XP..
I press the power button...it switches on....then it can switch off any time between that point and the window logo appears
I keep on doing this and after sometime it actually starts and works without any problems thereafter and on restarting also it works fine.
Now 2 days back I completely reformatted the system and did a fresh installation of XP thinking it might be some virus..But it still happens...
Another curious point.....if I press the del option to get into BIOS/ if I press esc when the option "start windows normally option" appears......it doesn't switch off....and stands in that screen as long as I press save&exit/Enter.
Which made me think there is some component in the laptop which needs to charge before it gets started.Earlier the battery was there, so it was automatically charged now that battery is gone it is requiring time to get charged from AC till such times it won't start up and afterwards it works fine...Am I right in my thinking...If so which is this component?
My CMOS is fine for my system's date is fine.As battery costs are higher I am asking this...if I put new battery will the system work fine...or shall I just dump it...it is sad because otherwise it works absolutely fine
