hello,

I use an ASUS 502L and was working with a friend who also uses an ASUS, which has a slightly bigger memory. I borrowed her charger, and my computer made a strange noise and shut off... it turns out our voltages are the same, but her amps are 1.5 and mine only are 1.2. Now, no lights come on when i plug my own charger in, and it wont turn on. Am I screwed for not buying GeekSquad protection? What can i do?
 
Hi, the difference between the amperage of the two adapters is not the cause of the problem if the voltage is the same, unless the polarity is different.
