My HP zt1170 will not run without battery in place either, I think it may be the design. By the way my battery crapped out a long time ago, but it still has to be installed to run on AC.trock106 said:My HP Pavilion ze5170 Laptop, will not run on the AC DC converter only;converter and battery are not the problem.

Well, do you want to buy a new pricey Mobo, or can you live with the battery installed while using AC power? At least you have a choice here!winbob said:The more important question is will it still run on Battery ONLY?
