hey my freind advised me to come here with my problem before i phoned the manufacturer to see if any of you could help me out.
basicaly iv had my laptop for 2 months now so its rather new running Vista home edition, im having troubles when the Ac/DC cable is plugged in the light on the front flashes saying it is charging but it still loses power at a fast rate. it also wont start charging unless i fiddle with the power cable for 5-10 mins. i know it cant be the cable itself coz i bought a new charger and i still have the same problems any help with my problem would be grately appreciated.

There is probably a loose connection where the power plugs into on the motherboard. I had that problem on with my sister's laptop and I soildered it back together very carefully and it worked great.
