thank you for the help but it did not solve the issue i forgot to inform that i have recently reinstalled windows xp and after is when i began having the problem. i have updated all the driver s including bios which does include the battery status as well as the ac power adapter. the ac adapter both that i have tried on mp laptop have with the battery in place the ac adapter led immediately starts to dim as the caps drain. and i have to pull the plug out of the wall to restore power in the adapter. its seems to me to be a possible short in the internal plug port buy i have n hard evidence of that without pulling the laptop apart
thank you for any help possible
