Hi all. Let me start by thanking you for your help. I have a HP ZV5000. There is an issue with the internal power supply that charges the computer. When the plug is inserted, it will charge for about five minutes then go back to battery power. I was quoted a very high price to fix this issue, and I was doing some reading online and someone suggested that purchasing this item (link below) will be an easy fix for my issue... Is this true? If so, how does the all-in-one media cable work? Thanks a lot

Started a year ago and the only way I keep things running is by unplugging and then plugging back in the power cord. VERY annoy and VERY disappointing. Just voer a year ago we bought another HP, DV5000 this time, and now it shuts down shortly after unplugging the power cord, but the battery always stays charged. I've taken apart laptops before (not these two) for the same issues and the three prong power connector on the MoBo has always been the issue. Whether it be because it's gotten loose ot just plain failed, it's always been the cause of the problem. I found this on another posting: http://www.hpnotebooksettlement.com/index.htm but cannot find where to print out the claim form. Hope this helps.
