Don't know how to do quotes, but, yes it was the panel that covers the memory. I unplugged everything, took out the battery and held the start button for 20 seconds then left it for an hour. It started up and ran..............for awhile, same as before. It still won't start in safe mode with networking.

Disconnect the AC adaptor cable, remove the battery and the Ram access panel, press the power on button for 20 seconds, ground yourself on something like a radiator and then remove the Ram, leave it out for 5-10 mins before replacing it, replace the Ram cover, connect the AC adaptor (no main battery) power up and see how it goes then post back with an update for us.

 

Will come back to the following later if the above does not resolve the issue.

Just so that I have this clear, are you saying that the notebook would not power up when you tried to power it using only the AC adaptor and no battery in place.

 

 (I'm in South Florida, couldn't find a radiator to ground myself. lol)

 

 

Glad to see you have not let this get to you 

[redsox1]

Oh, it's got to me........big time, I live on the edge ov the everglades, and I'm ready to feed this thing to the gators. I live on SSI, so no money for a new one or I would!

 

No, it would not start without the battery in. By the way, I'm on it now..

The computer should run without the main power brick in place, in fact it is recommended that the battery be fully charged and removed when there is access to a permanent live feed so as to prevent damaging the battery by overcharging.

 

While the computer is running can I ask you to check what the battery charge is showing, does it charge fully and if the battery charging LED stays lit.

[redsox1]

The little battery looking thing is full, and the light is on.

[phillpower2]

How does the computer behave if you disconnect the AC adaptor and use battery power only.

 

Can you examine the DC jack port on the notebook to see if it is loose or if the polarity pin in the centre of it is loose or bent at all.

[redsox1]

It wo't start without battery. It DID start without power adapter unplugged. I have I unplugged now. When I tried to start it without the adapter, I had to remove the ram, remove the battery and drain power. When I do that, after reinstalling everything, it runs real fast, then slows down.

Got it to start without battery. Be glad when it's fixed, so sick of recover webpage! It takes 15 minutes to get into Facebook

 

Everything seems tight, and the pin is straight.

Sounds like a bad power supply.

Have you done this.

Unlikely that this is directly affecting your internet connection, your wireless device having power problems could do though.

To see if this is a Windows issue download then run the All in One Repair from here, disregard the malware guidance but follow the other steps to the letter and in particular ensuring that you first create a new restore point and perform a proper Windows clean boot before running the repair, details for the clean boot here.

I'm leery of doing a clean boot. The only way i'd attempt it would be to print it out, and I don't have a printer. Why do I have a line through everything here?

[phillpower2]

It is not recommended but you could try running the tool without doing the clean boot.

 

The line through your text was most likely because the strike through tab on the task bar had somehow been selected.

 

Just a thought, why not upgrade to Windows 10 while it is still free. 

[redsox1]

Is 10 any good? I heard they were giving it away to test it.
