My ac adapter started going bad to the point where i had to pull it out and put it back in in the right spot for my laptop to charge. I just had the computer reformatted and it was working great. All of a sudden my computer shut off without any warning, i don't recall having a low battery. I took it to get looked at and was told i needed a new ac adapter. I got a new ac adapter off ebay and the adapter seems to work fine but the laptop still wont turn on. I get a periodic charging signal that goes in and out almost like it is trying to give me a morse code or something. Except it doesnt change rhythm. I tried taking the battery out to see if the battery had gone bad during the 6 months it was not being used. However, with the battery out, I get no charging signal at all and it does not turn on.
My laptop is about 5 years old and is a HP zv5000 if it helps....
