I have an Acer Predator Helios model Predator PH315-53. I haven't had a single issue with it and have been loving it until last night. When I turned it on last night to play games, I noticed the amber and blue lights were flashing on it and it was not charging. I made sure the charger was plugged in good at every connection (wall, charger brick, and PC) and still had the same issue. I unplugged it from the power strip, checked all connections and plugged it straight in the wall and it started charging finally. I only played for a few minutes and went to sleep where it had taken so long to get working. I shut down the computer when I did. I got up today and turned the computer on and it's doing the same thing. I've tried multiple outlets and checked the connections multiple times. Every time it's plugged in the blue and amber lights start flashing and it does not charge. Please help! I'm going into withdrawals not being able to play my games. Thanks!

    Just a follow-up, it's just when the laptop is turned on when it won't charge. If the power is off, it charges fine. Once it's turned on the lights start blinking and
