Viper III not charging

[Kai121]

I have noticed that my p180hm is no longer charging, I have disconnected the charger, removed the battery ect...and from what I can see the power brick is still getting juice but it isn't running into the laptop, any ideas on what could be causing this?

Just a thought, how long have you had the laptop? I ask only due to obviously batteries dying after a large amount of charge cycles/constant mains input etc.

i'd call pcs first thing in the morning mate,

does the pc recognise its plugged in?

is the transformer thingy getting warm?

I've had it around a month now, laptop does not recognise that it's plugged in and the block is cool, I'm thinking either the power block is dead or the psu inside the laptops gone.

Turned out it was the power block that had blown, power cut that night caused it to fry itself.

Thanks to Mathew Griffin for getting a new power block out to me so fast ^^
