In reply to Hector Cardenas. Hi, Iâ€ve got a Asus k501ux, i7. The DC power adapter pin was bent, didnâ€t know and plugged it like that. After a while the laptop didnâ€t turn on. Please can you tell me what the issue can be? Motherboard? Dc power adapter, fuse? Thank you. Marian

In reply to Marcy. Yeh that's possible but my question is..what kind of processor is the laptop using...is it Amd or intel core i 2. Which graphics card does the pc use?

In reply to Aza. 1: if your Jack tested 19v that means that jack is okay, then if the fuse tested 0v that means the fuse might be bad and for you to know if the fuse is bad try bleach the fuse together to know the reaction sometimes it cut light and sometimes the laptop will power..noted will doing it make sure you plug in the charger.. 2: try to observe with your finger on the motherboard when plug in to know if any chip heating up. 3: observe if any physical damage occur on the motherboard

I have an Wipro Laptop which is 8 yrs old. It was working fine till date. But yesterday after a shutdown now the laptop is not starting up. I have cleaned the Dust and the fan And also changed the hitsing pest. When I power on the fan will start and work for 10seconds and then it will stop. Nothing will come on the screen. Moreover the indicator blinking light showing that the Hard Disk is working and when I touch the hard drive I can feel that the hard drive fan is moving.. I have removed the RAM and re-inserted the same, but no luck. It will be highly appreciated, if you can help me on this problem

I was using my laptop without battery,operating it directly from charger adapter since 3 months…
There was a problems with my adapter it suddently made a small cracking sound.,at that time my laptop was dead..when i checked with multimeter it showed32 volts DC instead of 19 volts..
So has the fuse inside laptop breaken…Or it has affected my motherboard due to over voltage..?? please help,it will be so kind of you
