Predmet: Re: [Freedos-user] (no subject) - problem with 1998 laptop
Hi Šimon,
OK
I will try to explain more properly. I plugged in my Laptop. Pushed down
the power button and nothing happened. I cleaned up and I did not found
anything leaked or broken. I think there is a problem with power supply
In my experience with laptops of people I know, the most
common reasons for this are:
- the battery was dead (main battery or CMOS / clock battery)
- the charger / power supply socket no longer made good contact,
so while you believe everything is connected, no power arrives
- the charger / power supply no longer worked at all (quite often!)
- or, unlikely, you had to reset the CMOS settings or reinstall the OS
or some circuits. I will keep finding. I have also a battery pack for
that Laptop too but I am not using since those batteries are way old to
handle all operations and may explode.
Simon
As Mateusz explains, it may still be better to connect the battery,
even if the battery is so weak that your computer switches off a
few seconds after you disconnect the power supply from the AC socket.
Luckily, it is easy to get replacement power supply "bricks". Some
are sold with all sorts of connectors and with adjustable voltage.
You have to make sure to use the right voltage, polarity and plug!
Wrong power replacement choices can permanently damage your laptop.
Regards, Eric
