Hello,
I like to play video games on my Gateway laptop. I bought it in 2004 and recently I have been having problems with the battery holding a charge even with the power cord plugged in. When I play my games, the power cord can't keep the battery charged and after a while the computer will shut down unexpectedly from power loss. When I am not playing games, it charges fine. Also, My power cord converter box is extremely hot, and I don't know why. I thought that when laptops are plugged in they should run off direct AC power and not battery. Please help, this is getting really annoying. Thanks.
