I plugged in a defective OEM AC supply to my Dell M1710 laptop, and the screen went black.
I think it fried something... don't know if it is the Motherboard or daughterboard or what.
But now the battery (which was just fine before) won't take a charge.
And the laptop will not boot up with the new OEM AC supply I have.
But the really weird thing is: once the laptop is booted up the AC supply will keep it going indefinitely. But it will not charge the battery. Any ideas what is broken and how much to fix it?
Thanks,
