T23 power issue while AC Adapter connected

#1 Post by WSelzer » Thu Jun 24, 2004 3:23 am

While connected via AC adaptor, my T23 will beep and indicate running on battery as if not connected and then quickly go back to indiacting it is connected. This happens all within a second or two... seem to happen sporadically at different intervals. I noticed that when moving/jiggling the power cord close to the brick, power would go off and come back on... so I tried a separate adapter and the first issue above (power connected/disconnected/connected) still happens...

Any ideas as to what may be wrong?

Rather than the problem coming from the brick itself, is it perhaps being caused by a dodgy connection to the laptop itself? I've seen this before with my T21...

What did you do to resolve it?

No magic really, simply jiggled the connector in the socket - I think when this happened I'd been lazy and hadn't pushed the plug right in.

As it happens now, the T21 sits in a 2631 Dock which is powered, so the problem does occur. Sorry - I imagine this is not really much use to you.
