Hi
Recently my Acer 7738g stopped receiving power from the ac adapter.
Its been like 1 month since it started doing some kind of flickerin with the power receiving. Also i was overheating.
SO one day i opened it and i applied the thermal paste on the CPu and GPU which i have done it many times on the same laptop. After applying and closing the laptop, i tried to put hte laptop on power but it didnt respond to the press of the power button, so i opened it, rechecked everything and closed it again , still with the same result.
The Laptop although WORKS FINE with the BATTERY, you can log in into windows etc.
I started thinking that the dc jack is responsible so i ordered a new one. I got it and replaced the old one. It's the dc jack with the cords type. Still no response from my power button. Then i started thinking that it might have been the ac adapter but i took it to a technician and he said it is working.
TO sum up, we have a laptop that works fine with battery but it takes no power from hte ac adapter.
SO i deciced to give my laptop for service( to intentify the cause of this behaviour). The reply i got was that the motherboard was faulty and acer wants 680 EUROS for its repair.
SO i want to ask the experienced users here , if that is Possible. To have a fully working laptop by battery on a faulty motherboard and a faulty Motherboard not being able to receive power ac adapter making the laptop for garbage
