Power Problem
Can Anyone offer assistance.
I Have a Insipon 8600 and the charger does not appear to work, however when it's pluged into the mains the power light shows but no charge seem to be getting to the notebook. Further more it will not run just just on mains power.
I have looked at some of the recent tags posted and notice a recall on charger units.
Can someone please advise.
Many Thanks
Steve Harper
- I have an Inspiron 5150, and I have sort of the same problem. When I plug the charger into my computer, it doesn't register right away. Then all of a sudden it does, I'm not sure if this is just delayed, or if it is from moving the cable. I have 19.5V out of my cable, checked it with a multimeter. All this happened after I reinstalled Win XP the other day, could that have anything to say?Thanks

get hold of a volt meter and check the output from the AC adapter. Is it putting out 19..5 volts DC ?
No = you could have a broken wire in the adapter's cable to the computer,
Yes = try looking at the port where the AC adapter plugs in, it could be broken.
Have you tried running on AC power with the battery removed from the computer ?
