My wife just had two laptop computers ruined using the 175 w mobile power inverter. One of the computers was almost new , but bought at circuit city, and they are going out of business. My wife is desperate because she has all her college info on the laptops. Why did this happen?
175 W inverter is not enough power for your computer and most of the cheap inverters do not put out a true sine wave. Buy one rated at least at 400w. Then it will output continuously at 300w. That should be sufficient for your computer. Your 175 w inverter is overtaxed then the voltage drops increasing amperage and burning things out.

The display on top of that joystick controller is essentially a fancy decal. it can just be peeled off. Usually when the symptom you're describing is happening it is because the button on the underside of the decal is wearing out. This can't be fixed. The joystick face must be replaced. However, you should be able to get this from a certified Pride dealer for 60 or 70 bucks versus several hundred for a new joystick controller.
Error Code P3125 - Converter & Inverter Assembly Malfunction. This code relates to the converter and inverter assembly.
Causes: The inverter overheating, a circuit failing or sensor malfunctions.
Shut the lap top off completely do not use untill you replace the cooling fan. If you use it you will ruin it. You will have to have someone that knows what they are doing to replace this fan. For the sake of your sanity take it in and get a new fan installed now. John
you dont need to buy anything from radio shack, the inverter that you have will be just fine. i have used smaller and im sure cheaper inverters with no problem. i keep my company laptop constantly plugged in and charging all day everyday running service calls.
Ouch, you really should pull the battery and disassemble the laptop and dry the component ASAP. Water is really bad for your laptop. You didn't list the model, so can't help you with the disassembling instruction, but in general, the disassembling starts with the top.
You won't know until you dismantle and remove both LCD screens.
They could have different video connector and power connector for the inverters.
The best bet is to buy a new LCD screen or if the LCD screen is OK but the backlight CCFL lamp is worn out or the inverter is faulty, then the CCFL lamp or inverter can be replaced fairly cheaply.
