Toshiba Satellite X200 DC input connections.

[Glenhuon]

I live in a Caravan and want to be able to run/charge my X200 from a solar system I am installing. It has a 4 pin plug for DC input. There appears to be 2 separate circuits, one for charge and the other to run the machine directly. Worked that out from the fact it's original (faulty) power pack would run the machine, but not charge the battery. Can anyone point me to where I can find a diagram of the pin connections and required voltages.

Any assistance appreciated
Bill

Hi, from my schematic the pins 1 and 2 are the positive voltage (+), the pins 3 and 4 are the ground (-). If the power don't charge the battery, maybe a fuse in the line of the battery has blown.

New power pack fixed the charging problem. Have you got a schematic to show which pins are + and - and location of the power and charging ones on the socket ? I can use the DC line from the old power pack to build an adapter for the 12volt>19volt system.
Cheers
