Hello,
I plugged in by mistake someone elses laptop power supply into my Advent K200 Laptop and something happened. The Advent no longer shows any LED status lights when the proper mains cable is plugged in neither will the laptop run off the mains. The laptop works fine with the battery but I now have no way to recharge the laptop battery.
I have check the mains supply and I get 18.5vdc out so I know it is OK so it looks like part of the motherboard fied when I plugged in that other supply.
Is there a way I could bypass the power inlet or could I jack into the laptop battery connectors (10 pin) and power via a 12Vdc car battery.
Remember the problem is that I can get no power from the onboard power in connection.
