I have a campaq laptop (XP os) and when I press the power button, the light turns on for like 2-5 seconds and then the computer turns off again. This is after replacing the power cord, the older one can't even turn on the computer at all. So we went out and bought two other ones. Now, the computer turns on for like 2-5 seconds like I said earlier, and it turns off again.
Anyone know what the problem could be? Is it the power supply? A burnt out motherboard? I don't think the battery is an issue since it won't even turn on when plugged into the power outlets. Any suggestions as to what the problem is? If it was a desktop, I'd be able to open it up and look at it, but I don't know much about laptop hardware.
Any help would be really appreciated, thanks in advance!
