Alright, I have had a terrible year. Especially with computer problems. This time, my laptop is not charging!!!! I have it plugged in and sometimes it doesn't even say its plugged in, and sometimes it says Plugged in, not charging. Why would anyone have a computer plugged in, but not charging?!?!?! I have tried many remedies, but they work for a short amount of time. It seems I have to have the cord placed a certain way for it to work. I have about 5% battery life left on it, and I can't get flying done, untill my other computer comes out of the shop, which should be soon! I hope...
Anyway, can someone help me with this, I got this computer in August of 07'. I know its a little old, but it is my only way of flying untill my other computer is fixed. Any help at all would be great, hope to see you guys in the sky soon!

You more than likely have a damaged or weakening connection where the cord plugs into the laptop. If this is indeed the problem, there isn't really much you can do but get it repaired by a qualified technician.

It could be two things:

1) Your battery died and that's why it's not even charging (it's normal, batteries have short life periods)

or...

2) The power chord is broken. You can buy a new one (expensive) or have it repaired (not recommended).
