Guys. I need your help.

I was working on my laptop yesterday and suddenly there was a loud lightning as was raining heavily. Next thing I know was a fuse triped in my house and my laptop was turned off as I did not attach the battery.

I found out that my ac adaptor is not working later as the led light is off . I can power up my laptop using battery.

I use another ac adaptor but it will not charge my laptop and battery and I can't turn on the laptop without using the battery.

Do you think the lightning burned the charging port of my motherboard? Or anyone have experience in this?

Thank you very much

lucky only charging port.. some other case, mobo kaput..
future, if raining and got lightning, better use battery only..

Better ur AC fused...try plug in other thing see working or not

Is charging port easy to repair? How to check to confirm the charging port kaput?

I tried using other ac adaptor ...but can't power up the laptop ...

i means other electric applications... mayb the plug itself fused

Yes... tried that too... No problem with the plug.

still under warranty? wat brand? if dell u can claim..

Oh...no warranty already lo... Is a 6 years old laptop. But it is still functioning well and it is a premium one.. So I was thinking to repair it if it is cheap to repair...is a hp mobile workstation

well. the old hp was good.. the new 1 like lenovo grade de...

u can send to linear channel to repair.. my fren shop. very cheap there...

in kuchai lama

if u wan to buy new workstation i hv 2 new mobile precision m5510 n m7710.. both on 30% discount

Thanks a lot.. Let me verify the problem with my laptop now.. And will decide later whether I should repair it or buy a new one. Do you have a address of your friend's shop?

I had two hp business laptop so far.. Personally I feel the quality drops a lot... This mobile workstation i bought already had 2 motherboard replaced, 3 hard disk replaced and some other smaller issues. Luckily all these were covered by warranty.

I probably will stop to invest into premium laptop paying double the price as the quality now so so... Haha... But I can't deny that HP does provide very good warranty services for the business laptop

That's cool... Thanks a lot . .

Will check your raya post now...

Have a good day

latest mobile precision.. no 1 here carry it

which model of HP business laptop need replace so many times the parts ?

Elitebook 8440w mobile workstation.
One of the problem with the motherboard is the audio Jack do not function after a while and they will replace it with a new motherboard. The third motherboard I am using still having the same problem.

probably the board design fault

Ops.. Mistake... It is the microphone Jack...

working on laptop with charger connected is actually not good. as what happened to you. people say to detach battery because replacing battery is expensive.

safest way for your laptop and yourself is to work on battery and only charge when low on batt.

its ok if with surge protector UPS

nope. continuous charging isnt good for laptop. heats it up. damage the mobo or processor faster. ive 1st gen i5 still working like new. just replaced new battery and body.

I reckon detach the battery is easier as I may forgot to detach the battery after fully charged....haha..

Lesson learned ... Hopefully is only the charging port having problem

which area u stay ? LYP do have good reputation reparing shop, can intro for u

sorry, first time heard this theory

i read the technical tips 15years ago in i.t website. i didnt make it up.infact, you can test yourself.

i was charging my laptop 24 hour x 7 for over 2 year without off ( with UPS), so far ok

Please intro.... I live in PJ Bandar Utama area . ....desperately need to fix my laptop... Thanks thanks

Lithium aa battery era

maybe he never heard FET - integrated switching-mode battery charger with power path management and On-The-Go controller for single-cell Li-Ion and Li-polymer

Haha... not many Ppl teach... u dint mention I oso forget those exist...

must be ups with good power management

Hi, if the battery is not attached. Not the battery problem/
Can the laptop power on via Power Charger without battery?
If Yes, Motherboard problem.
If No, Power Adapter.
