do you try power in with battery out .

Thank you for replying, if I take the battery out but leave the power lead in, the start up button doesn't even light up !!

from that im thinking that the battery then is almost dead ,just enough to turn on lights for a second ,and the power adapter isn't working at all .! because it should at least turn the lights on also,but i could be wrong
