can you use a cheaper multimeter? Either the multimeter is taking a long time to give you a reading or the power supply is having a hard time ramping up the voltage on a load... i think it is the multimeter but still...
i have that exact same laptop! and i have had that power problem for 1-2 years already. the only way i make it work is by twisting it. that laptop is really bad. i have had so many problems with that laptop!
can someone help me. i have a asus g60jx laptop and it suddenly died, Power runs to my lcd back lights and dvd player. everything else doesnt., fans, lcd screen, hard drive, none of the fans, nothing. Could it be a bad motherboard?
Seriously, The power jack I have for my NV52 Gateway broke again ( the rod and for the 2nd time) So I had to dissassemble the ENTIRE thing to straighten, then reassemble. Finally, I guess I have to be careful with not unplugging it. Sheesh. The first time I got it broke it cost me 200 bucks! I'm saving fr a macbook F*** this computer
I had to take in my Gateway NV5214u laptop in for repairs 3 times for power related problems. Never buying a Gateway again. Also, I will be reluctant to go to Best Buy as well, since their customer service (dealing with repairs) is poor, or at least at my local Best Buy.
I have a Gateway MT6541 laptop with power problems also.
The laptop won't power up. The right light lights up blue for a split second then shuts right back off It does the same thing with either the adapter or the battery.
The battery still will charge while the adapter is plugged into the laptop which is what's confusing me. I don't know if the problem is from the adapter or the laptop's power jack.
This happens randomly. It will work for a couple days then happens again.
this computer sucks
