It's the battery

Posted: 01-20-2009, 04:18 AM
Had the exact same problem. A little web surfing turned up the solution: remove the battery and run on AC. That did the trick. I assume a new battery fully charged will work, but I haven't tried it.

Another orphaned post from EggHeadCafe.

Thanks for the information, but no one knows to whom you are giving this
information since you are not posting on a real forum as you think you are
and you didn't quote any of the thread to which you are replying. You are
using a web interface that leeches Usenet posts and most of the rest of us
are using real newsreaders. We don't see what you do. If you want to
participate in Usenet, the better way is to set up a newsreader. This is
very easy to do and I'll give you information about that below. If you
prefer to use a forum, then here are two excellent ones:

Since you are using a web interface, you may not realize that this is really
a newsgroup. You will get far more out of this resource if you learn to use
a newsreader. There are many good newsreaders for Windows, but you can use
Outlook Express (XP) or Windows Mail (Vista) since you already have it.
Here are some links to information about newsgroups:

That's odd. I use Thunderbird and show that he's replying to a message
titled 'Acer Aspire 3000 in Windows xp keyboard and touchpad problems'.
He just changed the subject. The OP responded to his own Post with the
same solution.
