Laptop powers off when power cord plugged in.

by mwhite6 . Updated 18 years, 6 months ago

I have a HP zv6000 with a problem that is driving me crazy.

It runs fine on the battery but as soon as power cord is plugged in – (within seconds) the whole unit powers off. It has done this 3x in a row.

Earlier today, you could plug the power cord in and within minutes the fans would **** very LOUD for a minute – then power off.

We have replaced the power cord once already – does it on the new one also.

I have also removed the battery and powered it on … It comes almost all the way up before it powers off again.

The only way I can charge the battery (and hence use the laptop) is when it is powered off and plugged in. It does charge the battery back to 99%.

Any ideas? Thanks so much.
