One thing you could do, before taking it to someone else, use Windows to see if t is charging or even reconzing that the batter is loaded...

Windows XP:

Click on Start > Settings > Control Panel > Poer Options

Then click on the 'Power Meter' tab and lastly check the box: Show details for each battery...

Is anything listed? Does it show a percentage? If nothing is shown then most lickily the connector on your motherboard that connects to your battery has bad, or, like already stated, the AC to Battery board it dead. Only replacing this can fix the issue.

God bless,
Johnathan

Thank you all for your advice. My wife had it checked and it came down to a small connection inside which has to be fixed. The price for this small job which should take about a half hour, (my opinion) $400.00. She is going to pass on this because she can still use the laptop plugged in. Sheplans on buying a new one in a few months.

That is a rip off !
When I was repairing a laptop a while ago, I needed to completely strip down the laptop to get to the place I needed to be at to repair it. The Job took ~ 1Hour, The bill was like £50 i think, ~$100 dollars to you guys.
Good for you on passing on!

Did they say what was wrong with it exactly ?
Weather a cable came loose, They had to replace a component or something ?

Is it a Compaw laptop? I remember soddering plenty of those things to make them work. The AC connector broke on them all the time. Some new sodder and a lot of hot glue, worked great!

$400 buck is way too much. Most times I charge arounf $150 or so, it took around an hour each time. Sometimes they would also have me work on other thigns as well, so the cost would roll into other things as well.
