Is the light on the charging cable on when it's plugged in, or the light on the side of the laptop where the charging cable plugs in?

 

[Alisa_1]

nothing is working, no light is on, and i have now managed to pry open the bottom of the laptop, to find no battery at all ... or from where i am looking i cant see a battery

 

[darkbreeze]

If you have no light on either the power charging cable where the transformer box is on the cable (Usually small square box about halfway down the length of the charging cable, or on the unit itself, I'd suggest you may need to replace the charging cable as even with a dead battery the cable itself should be lit. If it's not, then the unit can't power up OR charge the battery.

No the charger is fine the light on that is fine, i mean the little light on the side of the laptopthat indicates that it is receiving power or its already full battery doesnt show

can still have a broken wire between that adapter & the power connector that goes into the laptop. do you have or know anybody with a voltmeter or multi-meter to see if that connector has power in it?

 

[Alisa_1]

No note that i know of, but even then the charger was plugged it when the laptop died, it was charging perfectly

 

[ffg7]

can you take out the main battery from bottom back of laptop?

 

[Alisa_1]

I tried yesterday but there are wires and as i am not train nor have a clue what i was doing didn't want to ruin it because of the wire

 

[ffg7]

you are trying to take out the cmos battery not the main battery which makes a laptop a laptop not a desktop. all laptops have 2 batteries, cmos battery & main battery whereas desktops have 1 battery for the cmos as the desktop uses external power from a wall receptacle.
