How to fix Power issue-XP Pro Sony Vaio, Model PCG-7A2L Laptop...read inside...tia

[Guest george]

When I attempt to power it up (battery only) I get no lights

and it doesn't power up. When I plug in the AC adapter it

turns on right away but the date goes back to 2000 and time was

screwed up. I go into control panel, date/time and plug in the

correct date/time and everything is peachy. Again, if I pull

out the AC Adapter while the laptop is on, it remains on.

The laptop is a Sony Vaio, Model PCG-7A2L

Sounds like your motherboard battery is dying, replace it.

I doubt it's his motherboard battery that is causing the issue, although

that apparently is dead also. He probably needs a combination of a new

laptop battery and possibly the charger component on the motherboard is

bad. The OP needs to contact Sony tech support since this is a laptop.
