My computer is having problems...

Post by Thatguy »

It refuses to charge some times with the charger light blinking.
also, some chocolate got in the fan, would that be harmful?
Can somebody help?

Sounds like your battery might be dying. Try taking it out and putting it back in in case it's a connection issue.

Yeah, sounds like a battery issue......as for the chocolate, unless you liquefied and poured entire candy bar in there, I don't think it'll be a real problem.

Sorry for double posting, but do you mean a cmos battery, ( http://cgi.ebay.com/Compaq-Presario-CQ6 ... 4cecbb0712 )
or just a normal laptop battery?

The regular, huge battery it runs off of.

Usually when the power light blinks like that, it's a dead/dying battery.

Not sure what kind of laptop you have but my Dell has a little pin in the center of the plug that goes into the laptop. It busted off once and rendered the charging useless and now works only like an ac adapter. Does your laptop work while plugged in with the charger?
