Jimbo Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Hey guysMate of mine has the aforementioned netbook, stopped charging. It's less than three months old. I think it's most likely the power supply yeah? Is it likely to be covered under warranty?If not, where can we get a replacement? It's currently using a LiteOn PA-1300-04. Using a different converter to wall lead makes no difference, it gets warm but nothing else happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Michael Posted April 22, 2011 Founder Share Posted April 22, 2011 does it have a light on it ?Sure, it might be the charger, but it also could be the connector, the motherboard etc..Hard to tell.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder StamatisX Posted April 22, 2011 Founder Share Posted April 22, 2011 Since it is 3 months old it is covered by the warranty, if it is the power supply then the netbook shouldn't be able to power on once the battery was empty, but if the battery died (very unlikely since it is 3 months old, but possible) then you should be able to use it without battery, still this doesn't eliminate what Michael said about the motherboard, so it could possibly be that as well.

Jimbo Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 It was running on battery, then charger didn't charge - laptop warned low battery then died, that's why I think it's the power supply. No light at all on power supply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder StamatisX Posted April 22, 2011 Founder Share Posted April 22, 2011 Then yes, you can safely assume it is the power supply, the light should be on with or without it being connected to the netbook (given that it is plugged in to the wall ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 Sorry if I wasn't clear, power supply has no light at all, even when it was working it doesn't have a light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Brian Posted April 22, 2011 Founder Share Posted April 22, 2011 If warranty doesn't cover it, you could look on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mw86 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Yeah it is probably the power-supply. You see my mother bought my HP HDX18 w/Intel Q9000 and a year later she was using it and it said the battery was low, we turned it off unplugged it and messed around and it started charging again.... but subsequent days showed more of the same eventually the computer was not able to power on. My brother bought the same machine and I used his adapter and the system powered on fine. I was sure it was the adapter right away but for the sake of testing it anyway , I tried it on my brothers system and it didn't work so I have to find one for her system too. I don't want to go through HP themselves so I will do the same, I'll try Amazon or Ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
