[QUOTE="Jay Barracato, post: 1975, member: 24"] My Gateway MA7 has stopped charging. Recently I updated to Windows 7 from Vista, and just thereafter, I would be using it and even though it was plugged in it would stop charging. This was intermittant at first, until finally all it will do is run off of the battery. After using the gateway online support, I replaced both the charger and the battery, but I still have the same problem. Both chargers read the correct output voltage, there doesn't appear to be any damage to the jack and both jacks firmly plug in to the computer. Since I have limited battery life, I wanted to check to see if anyone had any ideas. Maybe there is some laptop specific power handling that got turned off in the windows install. I would appreciate it if anyone has any ideas. This is my show computer and I wasn;t really ready to retire it yet. [/QUOTE]
