Can't get power to my laptop.don't know if it's the laptop, or the powercord

There is none.

If it is a Desktop Computer (case) you will need a new power supply or a different one to test if that is really the problem.

on a laptop, try holding the power button for ~40secs with all power diconnected (no battery and no powercord).
then re-plug the powercord to see if it will turn on. Try a different powercord if it still wont turn on, or have it tested at an electronics store.

it might be your power cord, if the battery is empty and your powercord no longer working, the light will flash red to indicate it has not enough power to turn on. Try a different powercord for the same model, or have your current one tested at an electronics store.

please explain further.. do you mean your laptops power adapter cord?
thanks for using fixya

Hi
Try this. Remove Battery. Hold power button for 10 to 20 seconds Insert Battery and switch system on. Let me know if this works

1. Take the battery out of the laptop & try to turn on the laptop using power adapter only. If the computer turns on, then the battery is defective & needs to be replaced.
2. Make sure the power adapter is not defective. Test the output voltage of the power adapter using a voltmeter. Compare the voltmeter reading to the nominal value written on the adapter or the laptop.
3. Make sure the DC jack is not loose or broken. A loose DC jack will need to be re-soldered. A broken one will need to be replaced.
4. If you have another processor which is compatible with your laptop's model, try swapping processors & test to see if the laptop will work.
5. The power button could be bad.
6. The motherboard could be defective & needs to be replaced.

Try another power supply. If you don't have one try visiting the place you purchased the laptop and using the power from one of their display units. If it works, then replace the power supply of course.

If not hopefully your laptop is still under warranty.

Does the jack feel loose, do you get an lights?

Let me know.

Have you tried a new power AC/DC convertor ? make sure you have the correct spec...see manual for power adaptor needed. Cost less if you can get a loan of one. other than this i would be looking into checking the power jack. hope this helps

In the bottom of the laptop you can find the input required, make sure the voltage matches the requirement and the connection is the right way.

from what you said I can't tell if its too stong, can you adjust the voltage? look in the bottom it is documented there on a label.

check your powercord power adapter its working or not if working then you have to send your laptop to service center its a motherboard problem

I'm not sure which powercord you wanted because the title and the message had different things, so I'm providing both.

This is for the CN6555 Power Adapter.
