I have owned a Compaq Presario R3000 for about 2 years now and I've been having this extremely annoying issue lately.
The computer keeps going into battery mode (the screen is darker) even with the power cord plugged in. I thought it was the power cord so I went out and bought a brand new plug. No such luck. I really have to shove the plug into the computer to get it to recognize the cord itself, and even then the screen turns bright for about 1 second, then goes back to battery mode.
This is quite irritating since I use this computer all the time, and can't properly charge the thing unless by some miracle the screen stays lit.
I just need a solution to this problem. I don't want to have to send my computer away to get a new case for it or something, because that is just ridiculous. Is there any easy way to remedy this issue?
