Anyone got any ideas Conor Sure...contact your Laptop manufacturer for more help. This has nothing to do with XP so the question is out of place here. |

Anyone got any ideas With the absence of any information as to the make and model of your laptop, any responses will be pure speculation. Can you furnish some more information? What does the book of instructions suggest that this indication means? |

Anyone got any ideas With the absence of any information as to the make and model of your laptop, any responses will be pure speculation. Can you furnish some more information? What does the book of instructions suggest that this indication means? First thing I would do is try a different wall socket. The next thing I would do is change the power cable that goes into the power brick which is usually a figure 8 shape like the one below (not sure if it will display correctly) so here's a link aswell: http://www.tvcables.co.uk/images/ite...ower-cable.jpg http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.tvcables.co.uk/images/items/2m-figure-8-power-cable.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.tvcables.co.uk/cgi-bin/tvcables/2m-figure-8-power-lead.html&usg=__JjEMzco_zFBf0gzzGrmHERgOVLo=&h=245 &w=290&sz=13&hl=en&start=2&um=1&tbnid=ta0ci2u15Rkm iM:&tbnh=97&tbnw=115&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dfigure%2B8%2Bpower%2Blead%26hl%3Den%2 6client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dcom.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial%26sa%3DN%26um%3D1 These leads are quite common and are usually found on radios, vcr's, dvd players etc.. If your power supply uses a clover shaped lead http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA280_.jpg http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA280_.jpg there's a good chance that you won't have another one which you could use, if this is the case I would skip this. What you could do instead is to replace the fuse with a fuse that you know works. You could also take the battery out and see if the laptop will power on with just the power connection plugged in. Also inspect the power lead for damage and/or warping of the plastic casing of the power brick. Another thing, is the power connection on the laptop loose? Has the power cable been kicked or pulled (someone tripping over the power cable) or has the laptop been dropped? As SC Tom said, if you have a voltmeter or a multimeter check the dc voltage of the dc connector (the part that plugs into the laptop). It should say on the power brick and on the bottom of the laptop what the correct voltage should be. The idea behind this madness is to find out if the problem is with the ac/dc adapter or with the actual laptop itself. I think the ac/dc adapter isn't covered under warranty but you would have to check the documentation that came with the laptop or check the manufacturer's website. -- Mark Mckee CompTIA A+ Certified www.comptia.org -- Mark Mckee CompTIA A+ Certified www.comptia.org |

Hello,
What brand is the laptop? This is laptop brand specific so calling the tech support or Google with the brand name and 'orange power led' should hopefully get you answers. ___ http://www.bootstrike.com/ComputerService/ Singapore Computer Home Remote On-Site Repair Service "Conor Dalton" wrote in message ...
