    Plugged my laptop a/c adaptor into my laptop today and the light (green) went out!

    Assuming the connector is ok then the power supply is probably borked.

    Either that or the fuse in the plug, couldn't hurt to start with that.

    Find a multimeter and test the tip.

    Try this...
    • Shut down laptop
    • Remove power cord
    • Remove battery from laptop and count to 10
    • Reload battery
    • Reconnect power cord
    • Reboot and see what happens

    Thanks for all the advice, got sorted yesterday :)

    Click.ie told me it was my motherboard :mad:

    I went to www.avova.ie in athlone, excellent to deal with, done the test on laptop found it was just needing a replacement charger, which he supplied to me for a discount!

    Super stuff, laptop working perfect now,

    :D:D:D:D:D:D
