The battery is new and working , the adapter is checked in computer service in Chaweng and working ,input for adapter is okay ,but I guess my laptop has faulty contacts in main board . So i need staff t fix it. Thank you for understanding .

HP sometimes has issues with non-original battery replacements.

With the laptop plugged in take the battery out and then stick it back in. Does it charge then?

[Arthur59]

Gulfsailor,very good post about non-original batarry, because as i mentioned earlier i ve replaced one on it and since that time problems begins.But i ve already followed your advice and actualy it works fine for about 5-10 mins then the laptop switches off suddenly and refuses to work and the power button(on/off) starts blinking . Thats why i thought about faulty contacts on motherboard.

Have you considered Heat or a blocked vent/broken fan?

Actualy its fully cleaned month ago and all fans working well so no chance that it switches off from extreme heat

[Arthur59]

Thank you for suggesting where to go but i am not optimistic at all

the battery is simply deffective, the laptop does shutdown to prevent any dangerous stuff like explosions.

if the laptop is working fine without the battery, the culprit is the battery, ask the seller for a replacement.

Hi everyone!Thans a lot for suggestions!

Yesterday I has visited repair service opposite the Maenam post-office(very easy to find) .BTW, very interesting to hear how Russian and Thai talking English about laptop repairing.

So i left the laptop to diagnostics till today. In one hour i ll bring them back. They ve told me that better way to do is to sent it to Surat thanni HP official service , and they can do it for me , but the price of sending+reparing can be more than 8000bahts . And what are my options in this case? I guess its very simple if they can repair it no more than 2000-3000 bahts it worth trying if not better to give up and may be try to sell laptop as for parts . Hopes for better income !

If you want a second opinion, stop in at M Net, opposite Sirison down towards Tesco, Chawang coming from Maenam! .... Boyd is good too... PC's and Macs!

NHJ is correct, it sounds like the battery is faulty - buy a new one.
