Computer Problem. Seeking Help From Forumers ^^

Alright so, I usually use chrome but a week ago my computer refused to boot up :/. I tried multiple times and it continued to show same error message (The AC power adapter type cannot be determined. The system can only boot with a 130 W power adapter or greater. Strike the f1 key to shutdown. To resolve this issue, try to reseat the power adapter.) I checked both my adapter and battery. My adapter is 130W and the battery requires 130W. I tried to just take battery out and boot up but same thing happened. I even replaced the battery but same thing happened as well. If anyone has any suggestions (besides buying a new computer) please help!

Basically from what I read about it its a motherboard issue. You can either have a connection on the board re-soldered or just get a new computer.

I know it sucks, was in the same kind of place a few weeks ago when I had an EMMC failure on my Acer Tablet and since it was out of warranty I was pretty much hosed for it. These things happen.
