Ok, my laptop has been acting strange since the day I got it. I know I need a new battery, but they are expensive. The problem is, when it gets turned off, it is usually at least 1-2 months until it works again. The light will blink saying it is getting power, but it won't come on. A month or so later, I plug it in for fun and it suddenly comes on. Anyone know what the heck is going on?

Could be a faulty battery or power supply sending too much power through at once, which trips a sort of circuit breaker. (N64s have them, if you short something out in it, it'll shut right off and won't work again for a coupla minutes.) A month sure seems like a long time to wait to reset it though.

I know where to get a battery ($130) but I have never found a power supply. Anyone know where to get one for a hp pavilion ze4125?

have you tried talking to HP Customer Support? or have you checked out the HP site for your product? I would think they would have quite a bit of information about your laptop...

in terms to get supplies for HP stuff...wouldn't HP be a good place to go?

Not to sound racist or anything, but I couldn't understand what the guy was saying. He had me send some info to them via fax and email to get it registered, but I called back and they said they didnt get it and needed it again. So i did. They still didnt get it. Screw them.

That's not being a racist, that's corporations having tech support in foreign countries so they can pay them less. Or just not hiring people who speak English correctly.
