My dad has an N5110 that can't seem to hold a charge. He bought a new battery and it seems to be the same. It can run all day plugged in. He can put it to sleep, unplug it, move it just about anywhere, plug it back in and open the lid and all's well. Open the lid before it's plugged in and all's kaput.
I'm suspecting the charge circuit, but that doesn't mean that's the problem. Does the IO board have that circuitry on it or would I be looking at a motherboard replacement?
