laptop's ac power keeps turning off
Hi,
My laptop's battery is no good so I always use the laptop on ac power. It was working fine last night but today it keeps shutting down after a minute or so. I've just noticed the battery icon will start off showing the power plug next to it but then the plug disappears... if I disconnect the power lead and reinsert it, I will get the plug showing again but only momentarily.
Wondering what my first steps should be... is it possible it's a setting or software problem rather than the power unit/cord itself?
(am using trusty old--if loud--laptop at the moment)
thanks in advance.
