Hello all,
Sorry for the cross post but I'm at my wits end on this. I've googled up
the wazoo and can't find an answer
I have an I5000 that I bought from an old place of employment. About a
month ago I noticed that when I unplug from AC, it shuts right off. The
battery doesn't kick in. I've tried different batteries that I know are
good...
When I check the batter in the "Power Options Properties" I see the icon
for the battery, but it's got a red X through it. If I then click that icon
to see properties, it says it's online.
So, is it either that the battery is never taking a charge, or some other
hdwr problem? How can I check of the laptop is actually charging the
battery?
Has anyone else experienced this? Can someone point me in the right
direction to fix it?
Thanks!
Tim
