Compaq FAQ Power cord problems

[newsgirl93]

I've been having a problem recently with my Compaq Presario CQ62-238DX. When I plug in the Power Cord it doesn't register that it's charging, no notification, no change in brightness as it used to, but it does still charge. I've tried resetting everything, but nothing seems to work. I'd like to know how to get the notification back so I can know when my computer is charging, and not just hope for the best. Thanks

Compared to the past, does it take a longer time to charge? It could possibly be that the charger (AC Adapter) is defective and is charging at a reduced rate.

I haven't noticed much of a difference between then and now if there is any ....

Try a different charger. Maybe from a friend.
