Hi there,
i am trying to diagnose a problem with my Philips Freevents X69
Notebook. Problem occurs after connecting external power supply. If it
is connected, computer shuts down after few seconds - few minutes
after operating system (Windows XP) is loaded (user don't need to log
on). Different power supplies were tested with the same effect. Shut
down goes immediately without shutting down operating system.
I tried to run linux live cd - the same problem, but occurs before
loading complete operating system. Previously there was a Vista
installed. And it worked then. But confuses me that it happens with
linux too ... Anyway - could it be OS fault ?
Other facts - i checked RAM, HDDand visible condensers - those all
looks in order. Shut down also does not happen when BIOS is turned on.
Notebook powered with battery only works also without a single
problem :-)

Thanks in advance for any advice ;-)

You didn't mention what happens running it on AC with the battery
removed. Does this work, or does it still shuts down?

This would not explain the behavior you described with Linux but I
suggest taking one thing at a time and trying to solve the problem in
XP. I personally never encountered this behavior. My first thinking is,
could be linked to the battery charging process. Have you tried running
the machine without battery?

Sorry Bill, you were faster, I had not seen your post. Meeting of minds ...
