Hello... if you remove the battery from the laptop can you still power it up with the power supply?

I was going to take it to a repair store but i really would like to try and fix it myself first, then if i could, i would not have to spend more money on getting it repaired,

Hello... the power supply need to be tested somehow... Like I said the "Goodwills" have Computer Parts and like 10's of these things there for $5... check your Local Goodwills listings for "computer re-cycling center" B )

Hello... there are a billion PS in the world... each one is different... BUT the LABEL on them have all the info you need to find the same "Voltage" 'current" ratings, these things should match & have the same kind of connector. B /
That is my DIY recommendation. B /

I think i know whats wrong, if you tilt the laptop sideways it boots fine, other then EXTREME Heat issues, gonna pop more ram in to see if i can get a faster boot,
If anyone can help me fix the having to tilt it sideways for it to work i would really appreciate it. Thanks
