HP Laptop Issue

[Vasudevan Deepak Kumar]

My new HP laptop is going crazy. The adapter when plugged in takes really really some five minutes. The indicator glows yellow for a while before indicating green (for charging). Called the local reseller and he couldn't advise convincingly. Any clues?

I had a similar problem; I noticed that my battery life had dropped over 2 weeks from 2 hours to 40 minutes, and from time to time the power light on the front of the computer would flash when the computer was charging. I downloaded the HP Battery Check from their support website to check the battery, which told me to contact HP as my battery was damaged (and the pc was under warranty). This did not solve the problem as the battery would charge 2% then the power light would flash again (and would not charge). As the whole pc was under warranty, I sent my old battery, my new battery and the portable to HP and they ended up changing the internal charge management card, and I believe the mainboard too... You can search HP's site for more info. What PC do you have? (I'll look up their maintenance manual for your beast :-) ) Other solution; if you are still under guarantee, send it back, if not, either get a guarantee extension or think about a new PC!
