+ Show Spoiler [tl;dr version] +
[x] Everytime I plug my AC adapter to my Laptop, it laptop instantly crashes.
[x] My laptop doesnt crash when it is unplugged.
[x] I dont know if it is the adapter, or if its my laptops reaction when an adapter is plugged in.
[x] This problem is completely new.


Hi, i had a previous blog where i had a laptop issue and now i figured out what was causing it!

whenever i plug my charger into my laptop, it shuts off within a few minutes, once , almost instantly.

Before i had the charger always inside the laptop so i was confused but, now i just leave it out, and the laptop works perfectly without the charger. obviously this sucks because i have to charge it for two hours, after using it for just an hour.


I've googled a bunch of things, such as battery being the obvious, .. settings to my power plan, or battery usage; windows updates ?( running vista )

and my battery is about to run out again.

Also when it crashes, it's a black, flickering screen and i've had the laptop for a good 2-3 years.
Some recent changes would be starting university and carrying it around possibly causing physical damage to the laptop.

Have you tried taking the battery out and using the AC adapter?

also im guilty of this


He's trying to say something like do you keep the adapter plugged into your laptop even after its done charging. Because if that's what you're doing, it fucks the battery over time. Overcharge and all that nonsense.

i never knew

Weird problem. The battery seems like the most likely issue.

I actually don't think the battery is the issue anymore.
I tried what motbob suggested, starting the laptop without the battery and just the AC adapter, and within a minute of start up, the laptop crashed.

Find someone who has the same adapter in your school and try that. Otherwise I'd say you are toast.

if its your internal power device and/or the slot for your power adaptor you are really fucked (happened with an old notebook of mine lately T_T), cuz that would result in having only 2 options available (1st one is rather complicated (finding exactly same motherboard since im pretty sure its an onboard power device in your notebook T_T, and than changing motherboards; sometimes this might not even be an option cuz the manufacturer might have decided to hardwire some essential non-board components to your board (screen f.e.,which sucks)),2nd one is a lot easier but costs a lot too (get a new notebook T_T; use the few minutes you have before crash to transfer essential data to an external (usb) device, repeat until you got all :/ )

so here is me hoping that you dont have that problem
