Compaq PRESARIO CQ62 219WM laptop stumper . . .

[cmangle]

I have a Compaq Presario CQ62 219WM laptop that has a strange power/battery issue!

The led next to the power jack (with the battery installed) goes white for a few seconds and then to a steady orange and stays that way.

After the CQ62 boots up (which it does with no problems) the power/battery indicator by the clock on the screen shows no charging and is running off of the battery. If I remove the battery, the light by the power supply jack stays steady white (no orange) and the CQ62 219WM will not boot up!

Not that it is related but it seems as though the mouse pad is not working either!

Anyone have suggestions or experience with this type of problem?

thanks chris

Don't know whether this is useful:

Thanks jwoegerbauer, I ordered a new MB and fan. As comments indicated in the link you posted, tracking down an onboard defective part is useless and a waste of time!

thanks once more for the link!
