Hey Guys,
My laptop went dead yesterday, my girlfriend plugged everything in then put the plug in halfway by accident. This couldn't have gone good.
The laptop adapter still outputs the 20v it needs. When plugged in the laptop battery charging light flickers orange and wont stay solid green, at this point the voltage across the adapter drops from 20v to about 6v and constantly changes.
I personally think a capacitor may have gone inside the adapter, and isn't holding the correct charge which you can see when the adapter is under load. But I wanted your opinion first guys, these adapters are sealed so want to make sure before i take it apart.
Thanks,
Ash
