    My laptop battery stopped charging a while ago, I finally got round to buying a new battery and that will not charge too. Is it possible that it isn't the battery that is knackered but the laptop psu or have I just got another duff battery? Also how dear will it be to fix? It's a Clevo d900t chassis.

    It could be the power supply, could be the charger, or it could be the connection on the laptop from the power supply to charger.

    Is the laptop still under warranty?

    Can you get your batteries checked at a specialist Battery replacement store?
    Even automotive battery stores may be able to help.

    They might be able to check that the batteries will take a charge. If so, then your problem lies inside the laptop. Yuk. :p Bazza

    Just don't try to fix it yourself. PSU is a very delicate part and if damaged it can cause some unpleasant situations.

    You can try using a multi-meter on the power adapter to ensure its putting out the proper power.

    Great point, Valhallis.:cool I should have thought of that. :eek:

    In other words, check out both ends before disassembling the laptop. Bazza
