    Hey Guys

    I know it's difficult to diagnose over the internet.
    Here is my issue:
    My laptop has a power issue, AC adapter no longer charges the battery
    or powers the laptop? (It makes a chirping sound) :)
    The laptop still works fine with my spare battery which had a
    full charge.
    Is this as simple as maybe getting a new AC adapter or changing the
    power jack, or could it be worse?

    Thanks

    Googles, It sure sounds like an AC adapter issue, Do you have a multi-meter that you can test it with?

    I assume you have already tried plugging into a different outlet.

    I will give that a try.
    If it's AC adapter that's fine, only about $40 on ebay.

    Thanks
