Look up the system requirements for each game and compare to the laptops processor and installed graphics card chip set.
You will find your answer that the processor and installed graphics card chip set does not meet the game(s) system requirements.
Can your computer run that game?

Did you try following to see if it can be fixed?

Remove the battery and charger/ac adapter/power cord from your laptop, press and hold the power button for 10 seconds to discharge any residual current inside the laptop. It functions like a complete reset. Replace the battery and charger/ac adapter/power cord and turn your laptop on.

If it still did not solve your problem. Did you check if it could be your laptop power cord or power source problem?Take the battery out and power on your laptop with the charger only. Make sure your laptop power jack and charger plug tip are securely connected. Did you notice the power jack loose? You can find laptop power jack on ebay. Fixing and soldering the power jack requires professional skill though. Also the charger green LED should be on. If your laptop is still off, replace the charger. The charger does not last forever. Consider buying a lifetime warranty charger online from topmic. They offer 30 days money back guarantee in case your original charger is not defective.

Have you tried it in a different USB port? If it keeps re-detecting, it could be a bad USB port.

Here are some things that should help anyone reading this where I’m at:
-Laptop will not turn on (battery currently in it is discharged)
-Laptop will turn on when my spare battery is in it (but neither battery will charge).
- AC power adapter voltage confirmed (at the tip of the connector) 18.5 VDC output via multimeter and oscilloscope but voltage is not reaching AC power indicator LED (wiggling the connector does not make it flash).
- If 18.5 VDC is spliced into the charging cable from an external (HP E3631A) power supply, there is still no voltage reaching the AC power indicator LED (again, wiggling has no visible effect). No current is being drawn from the HP power supply.

-There is continuity from the black ground/negative wire of the power jack of the laptop (and from the stripped and exposed AC adapter cable) to one of the terminals in the battery compartment.
-There is NO continuity from the red positive wire of the power jack of the laptop (and from the stripped and exposed AC adapter cable) to one of the terminals in the battery compartment (not sure if there actually should be – perhaps this connection is normally open until the power button is pressed and the laptop turns on).

Does anyone have any ideas before I open it up and start looking inside? I can’t think of anything else to do but I’m hesitant to take that step.

By the way, I have multimeters, waveform generators, oscilloscopes, and adjustable power supplies available for use while troubleshooting. I’ve spent the last 8 years of my life working in radio maintenance so I can likely understand anything regarding electronics that you tell me, I just haven’t spent much time working on computers (nor do I have an advanced troubleshooting guide for this) so I need help here. Thanks in advance!
One more thing: I have a docking station that allows the power cable (and just about anything else) to be routed to a different (80? pin rectangular) jack on the bottom. Using this route of applying power to the laptop instead of the standard power jack produces the same result. Thus, I conclude that the power jack of the laptop is not broken since it can be bypassed with the same result (whether I power it with the standard AC adapter or the external power supply).
————————————————————

Thanks for the response. I tried reseating both memory chips – no change.

Since the computer does turn on and boots normally to windows xp with my charged spare battery (except that it refuses to charge batteries that are placed in it), I’m guessing that the problem lies elsewhere.

My guess is that something is broken/defective at the internal unit that accepts the external DC voltage and distributes it to other needed sections (like whatever component outputs the charging voltage to the battery).

I don’t have a schematic to follow the path myself and (although I have the keyboard removed now and I can see some of the innards), I’m hesitant to start pulling everything apart until I have a bit more focus and direction.

Does anyone have any other ideas?

Have lots of experience with HPs including your model. First step is to reseat the memory — one in the bottom compartment and one under the keyboard. For the one under the keyboard — remove the screws from the bottom with the keyboard icon next to them and then slide the plastic tabs between the F keys toward you and it will lift up from the unit. That model will act like it has no electricity at all if any of the DIMMs are even slightly out of line.

The startup repair sometimes showsup if the laptop didnt get shutdown properly or if it restarted abnormally. If you are sure there’s nothing wrong with your Windows, you can just select Windows during the loadup process. (It should give an option between Launch Startup Repair & Load Windows Normally). If the Windows opens up without any problems, startup repair wont start again the next time you start your laptop.

Hi,

If your laptop is running on Windows 7, click on the wireless network icon and run Network Troubleshoot – it provides relevant information and some solutions to issues with network connectivity.

Generally though this sort of problem is usually solved by turning off your router and modem. Wait for 10 seconds before turning on the modem, then the router.

Hope this helps.
