Hi,
I have a problem with HCL laptop. When I press the power button, it's power LED flashed for a moment then goes off. Battery charging is shown up when I connect both battery and charger.
It's battery was 90% when last time I switched off. After that it didn't turn on. and after some time the battery LED started showing green (like it shows up when fully charged). So not thinking it is power problem.
I tried removing the battery & charger and pressing the power button for a minute. But no effect. Can I conclude it is a mother board issue or something I can do?

Hi,

Here are other troubleshooting steps that you can try before concluding that it's the motherboard.
- Reseat the RAM, take them all off for couple of seconds then put them back in making sure that they are all seated properly.
- If these will not work, do test the AC adapter if it's supplying enough voltage to power the laptop. Also if available, try another AC adapter that has the same voltage and see if it would work.
- If all these will not work then it's the motherboard that has the problem.
