Laptop woes.... :(
Posted: 14 Mar 2010, 12:22
Hi folks,
my trusty laptop has gone south. First the ac charger failed, but the machine worked fine on battery. Obtained new oem replacement charger and the laptop won't recognise it or charge. No only but also the laptop won't run on ac power with battery removed.
Ac light comes on at the front when ac connected so don't think it's the new charger; any ideas? 
oh it's an HP ZD8000, not the best reputation but hasn't let me down until now. Typical it dies just before next stint in the sandpit!!
Best wishes
