Ron Paul Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I have an ASUS G50V, and I've had it for a while, but it stopped working a while ago, I may have tried to use a different source of energy, that wasn't compatible/had more/less volts than the required amount. Well I'm trying to charge it with a universal adapter, and the adapter will make a *tick* *tick* noise, and won't charge the laptop. I figured, oh it might be the adapter, so I took it to the computer store right by my house, and we tried a different charger. It didn't work. So now I'm stuck. D: I know it isn't the actual battery, because then it would still power on when it charger connected. The computer store told me it'd be $70 just to find out whats wrong (lolnofuckthatshit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That helped for a little bit for me It doesn't even turn on, it has no battery left. It's almost always the battery No, because if it was with the battery, and I connected it to the charger, it would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jajolt Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) Alright Ron, you're gonna need a new battery, I know because with laptops, you can remove the battery and it will still stay powered as long as its plugged in, the battery's job is to provide power when the charger cant. This is how it charges. trust me, this is a battery issue. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003P61XKM ^^6 cell $37 http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0056CE526/ref=redir_mdp_mobile ^^ 9 cell $67.65 Edited July 16, 2012 by jajolt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyHorse Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Take battery out and plug in the charger. If it works, its your battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazaHorse Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 If you have it charged in, the computer ignores the battery and lets it charge while it takes the power directly from the adapter. You can use a laptop without the battery even IN and connected to the adapter. It's your battery. Everyone here is saying the same thing because everyone here has had the same problem. It's your battery. If it's under warranty, get them to send you a new one. If it isn't... 20 bucks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No! Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I know someone already said this most likely but. Have you tried plugging it in¿ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iDigitaL- Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Get a computer instead of a laptop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Paul Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 I might have someone come and repair it, because it isn't the battery - if it was, the laptop would turn on when the charger is plugged into it regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
