Hey guys I hope someone can shed some light on this for me as I am at a complete loss.
I have a HP pavilion dv6-1129tx laptop it still has the genuine battery in it which is about 4yrs old but I assume it is still alright as it holds charge for over an hour running in battery alone.
OS is vista Home Premium 32bit, the issue I'm having is with power management. When I start the laptop with battery and ac plugged in screen is at max brightness when I remove the ac cord display and the rest of the laptop goes into power saving mode. When I replug the ac adapter the battery light comes on as if it is charging but the battery icon in windows does not indicate that it's charging and does not show the ac adapter plugged in, on top of that the laptop continues to stay in power saving mode. Yet as mentioned above if I start the laptop on with battery inserted and ac plugged in it shows that it's charging the battery and power saving mode is off with full brightness and performance.
I have restored the OS from recovery partition, this does not fix it. I have tried a brand new battery with higher capacity, original is 4200mah higher capacity is 5200mah but when I attempt to recover OS it tells me to plug in AC even though it is plugged in, yet when I put the old battery in the 4200mah with ac plugged in it allows recovery as it has detected that ac cable is plugged in.
The only thing I did notice is that the ac adapter rating for the laptop is 19v @ 4.74a but the targus one I got with this secondhand laptop had a 19.5v ac adapter with it.
I am tearing my hair out, could someone please help out, is it possibly the ac adapter being the incorrect voltage causing this problem for me??
Your advice would be gratefully appreciated and I thank anyone that could please help in advance.
Cheers
