Too Late

[Stoop111]

The model is Dell inspiron 8600. Laptop.

 

The battery does not qualify for the recall fyi.

 

 

 

The power cord is kinda loose in the hole, as in it comes out easily and turn around in t easily.

 

 

 

I have tried many different power outlets, checked the connection throughout the cord.

 

 

 

The comp is either not picky it up, or it is not making the connection.

 

 

 

Help Please. Tips wanted. Possible temp fixes?

 

 

 

51% Battery remaining as i push the submit button.

 

 

 

Coputer is Dead. My temporary goodbye :oops: .

My first thought would be to test it out with another power cord.

 

 

 

Look for a friend with the same model laptop as you and see if the AC adapter puts out the same power (For example, my adapter reads "output: 19.5V 3.4a"). Find an adapter where the "v" and "a" numbers match up with the ones on yours.

 

 

 

If a different AC adapter works, then it means yours has gone bad and should be replaced.

 

 

 

That's the only idea I have for now.

As psudomorph said, try another AC adapter. If it does not work, check your warranty. If it's still under warranty, call Dell Customer Support and they'll replace it for free. Not sure how much it'll cost if it's not under warranty though.

The power connections inside the plug or the termanator are loose or broken. The best thing you can do is to get a new one. :wall:

my dad had the same problem. then funny thing is he ripped apart the computer to try and fix it and he couldn't so he called hp and sent it in. he compleatly stripped the cord to the power adapter to. hmm hp fixed it no problem and replaced the screws my dad forgot to put back.

 

 

 

my mom also had the same problem but she just went out and bought a new power adapter s'all good.
