Laptop Charge Problem :(

[Matta_88]

Just thought id post my problem that on the off chance someone may no what is wrong with it!

Basically i have a Hewlett Packard V1000 Pavillion.

Had it for a few years its been fine but lately its not been holding charge.

So we got another battery...still the same.

Got another charge cable...works but doesnt hold charge once you remove cable.


Now im baffled unless it needs some sort of modification or customisation to the MB?

Anyone shed some light??

Thanks

personally it sounds more like something has burnt out on your motherboard to me.

google is your best bet.

It'll be the DC socket on the motherboard. Stress can fracture the solder joint. Best best is to buy a new socket and solder it on. I've done this for 5 or 6 people now. Works fine afterwards.

EDIT
I've possibly miss-read OP

Don't know. Sounds like charging circuit is cream crackered. What does Windows Power Management make of it all?

I had a Compaq laptop about 10 years ago that exhibited exactly the same behaviour and turned out to be faulty charging circuit - was a common design fault on that model as it happens.
