I have a HP pavillion ze5300 laptop. The problem is that when I dial-up with no ac power, everything works fine. When I plug in AC power and try to dial-up, modem doesn't work. I repeat this process back and forth and when I am on battery, modem works fine. Have ac power, modem doesn't work. I am thinking a possible short. Any ideas?
