Hi Stuart,
There doesn't appear to be a voltage selector on this particular transformer.
The cable doesn't feel overly loose in the machine, nor do the cables going
into the brick.
The battery appears to charge to about 94%, which I suppose is normal after
around 3.5 years, though that percentage does seem to drop remarkably quickly.

Could you have changed the voltage selection on the transformer brick ?
Does the cable plugged into the laptop feel well seated or loose ?
Does the battery charge fully after its drained ?

Thanks Stuart,
I've just tried that and it doesn't work, so it doesn't look like the
battery's the problem.

Unplug it. Take the battery out. Plug it back in and see if it runs
properly on mains power with no battery. If so you need a new battery.

Hi,
I have an HP Pavilion DV9000 series laptop, which has developed a
strange problem over the last week or so.
The laptop won't run off power or charge when it is plugged in and
switched on. The status indicator in the system tray gives the percentage of
battery left, afterw which it says "plugged in, not charging" rather than "AC
power" which I think is what it used to say.
This means that even though it is plugged in, the battery runs down
until it's drained, then the laptop switches off. The battery will then charge
though.
I suspect something is faulty, but don't know whether it's the
powerpack, battery or socket.
Has anyone seen anything like this before?
Thanks,
Ed
