My Compaq R3000 laptop often does not use AC power, even when it's been plugged in (and had the plug held in) several times. And, after it gets power, it often powers off within 30 seconds to 1 minute and has to run on the battery (often it can not boot completely without the battery).
Do you know if Compaq will fix this (apparently, I've read, many R3000's have the same problem)? Where's the best place to get it fixed (or is there anywhere I can get good instructions how to fix it myself...I am great at fixing hardware in desktops just have very limited experience with laptops)?
Or is it best to reinstall an entirely new motherboard (and if so, can I upgrade to a core duo motherboard/new processors without causing any conflicts)?
