Hello all,
I've been working on a M series 1437G for a year now. No problems, apart from the quick launch key for power dvd not working, but that turned out to be my own rather disturbing stupidity.
Now however I have a problem that I can't figure out. I always have my amilo on power. I hardly ever go mobile with it. When I'm done working on it, I simply close the lid and it goes into standby. When I press the power button it used to come back, but now nothing happens. The moon symbol and the battery symbol blinck, like they should, but when I press the power button both lights die slowly and nothing happens. When I hit it again, the battery light starts blinking again, but no action. I have to unplug the power cable and press the power button twice for it to switch on.
Apart from this, it doesn't come out of standby, it reboots afresh. So apart from the power button not working, it also forgets it was on standby.
I have replaced the motherboard battery in the hope that that would solve it (seemed the most logical solution), but alas.
I now fear my battery is bust. I just read about the bios reset. I'll try that when I get home. But I thought it couldn't hurt to gather alternatives in the meantime. I don't think that'll solve it, because I never changed anything in the bios. It is in factory setting as it is.
Any thoughts? Am I looking at a rather expensive new battery?
