Hello everyone,
I have a little issue with my old laptop. I will try to keep it as short as possible at the same time not to omit important info.
I have a Probook 6450b for quite a few years, for 3 years or so I haven't used it at all but lately (4 months) I started using it as a server, just to experiment. When I started it after the 3 years I saw that a warning popped up about the battery.
I did not pay much attention as it would be only stationary, basically running 24/7 with Ubuntu server on it.
All good, now at some point last week I wanted to change its location, so turn it off, change the position turned on back. After a few seconds, it dies, tried again, dies again, when tried fourth time saw that it doesn't show a power cable plugged in.
The power adapter and battery were changed (on the spec shows 19v output) back when I was using the laptop (used both of them for a year or so before getting the new laptop).
Now without the cable (with battery) when power on, nothing happens. When plug in the cable the power LED lights blue (white) for half second than orange.
When I try to power on 8 times (sometimes 10) orange LED blinks then nothing. Tried the 8-step guide, nothing, opened it up removed the small CMOS battery, checked it and it was dead so replaced it.
Nothing....so I am out of options
) anyone any ideas? It's not a priority to fix it, as I don't really use it much...so I am not going to take it to the repair shop, but out of curiosity (and respect for the laptop) I don't want to give up on it before I try everything.
So....long post, sorry.
