stephmayes Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 HiDoes anyone know if I can easily test my laptop charging circuit. I have purchased a new battery and it doesnt hold the charge. I am assuming its the charging circuit possibly. Is there anyway i can test it ?Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarecrow Man Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Oh, I think I understand now.Does you Laptop acknowledge it has been plugged in, when it is plugged into a wall? What kind of computer (Make / Model) are you using?Here is a document for Dell computers, but it may have a few ideas to try. - http://ftp1.us.dell.com/diags/R66243.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarecrow Man Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Not to worry. I am very rarely on during the weekends, as my schedule is quite busy. Sorry I did not explain this better in my last post. The reason I ask for the made and model is so we can download the latest bios update. If you go to Packard Bell's website, it asks for some informationhttp://support.packardbell.com/uk/Serial number:Part number:or the specific model (eg. EasyNote GN45)Please fill out the above information, so I can find your exact system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
