What could this be?

I took my laptop into the computer guys because when I turned it on the light with the (A) on it flashed and then it shut down. It didn't do this once for them and they put it down to the power pack not charging the batteries. Anyway after $100 and a second hand power pack I took it home and it did the same thing and shut down even with the power pack. I took it back to them to show them exactly what it did, I am now waiting for them to finally figure it out but I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else and what it turned out to be. Thanx for your help.

Hello there Golden,
I had a similar problem a few months back, and the computer nerds couldn't fix the little bugger, so I had a go myself.
Simply by removing the battery and giving the terminals a wipe, I fixed it... all by myself.
Give that a try. May work, may not. Nothing to lose. No cost either.
Good luck
