My Patriot 2410 laptop wont take power from the AC adapter. I have checked the adapter and its fine (19 V 3A).

The power light blinks on and off if you waggle the lead but wont stay on to boot up the laptop. I can also hear a crackle on the speaker.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

The AC adaptor may be fine but it sounds like the connection to the laptop isn't right. My dept bought three new laptops that I had to set up and one had to have the AC adaptor replaced. It happens.
