My computer works fine when the power cord isn't plugged in, but turns black the second I plug it in. You can barely see the screen, but everything else works properly. I tried taking out the battery and holding down the start button for 60 seconds. This worked, but only for a little while. The screen eventually turns black again.

We need more information. Is this a notebook? What model? Normally when you can barely see the screen, that indicates an inverter or CCFL backlight problem. Try a different monitor.

It is a HP G60-230US laptop.

You can still try a different monitor on the notebook to see if the problem occurs there as well.

Unfortunately, I don't have another monitor to test it with. Any other suggestions?

Not really. Check your TV to see if it supports a PC/computer input. You need to determine if this is a problem with your notebook's monitor, or the notebook itself. The best way to do that is to try another monitor.

Please pardon the intrusion...

Have you checked the Power Plan settings to make sure the "Brightness" setting isn't set too low when plugged in? Maybe try adjusting them a little to force a change in the settings.

I call it contributing, not intruding!
