Resolved Question:
I have a sony vaio laptop. The ac adapter stopped working
and I can't start up my computer. I tried getting a new adapter but it still
won't work. When the person from whom I bought the adapter tried to start up
another sony laptop it would not start up. He took a voltage meter and tried to
see if electrical current was passing through and it seemed to work. When I
plugged in the adapter it still won't work. I think the adapter is defective
and am going to return it.
Your thoughts please

Hi I'm Jon. I look forward to helping you.
Jon-Tech :
Based on what you stated the power supply / adapter is bad,
you should replace it. Sometime if the batter is fully dead the laptop will act
as if no battery is installed and won't start. I recommend you bring your
computer to a local computer tech shop that sells batteries and adapters and
bring it in without the power supply / adapter and battery and ask them to
install news ones and see what happens.

By the way how old is your computer? if it's over 3 years
you probably want to get a new battery anyway, just don't throw away the old
one. Jon
