The AC adaptor goes into the AC socket, NOT the computer connection. The Computer connection is DC and comes from the DC side of the Adaptor. If you mean the DC socket has broken, then you need someone to replace it inside the computer.
If the AC adaptor has failed, you can buy a replacement ( 19V 3.16A 60W AC Adapter).

The laptop probably isn't charging. Could be a bad d/c connector on the laptop or the battery is bad. Remove the battery and plug in the a/c adapter and see if it powers on. Wiggle the a/c plug in gently while pressing the power button on the laptop. It powers on and off briefly then I'd say it's the d/c jack on the laptop, bad sodder joint.
It could be a bad adapter, a short that drags everything down when plugged in.. could be a short inside the computer doing the same thing.
Borrow an adapter to see if you get the same result, if a friend or shop will help you with that.
A digital VOM could tell you if the right voltage is being put out by the adapter. Read on it, if it's supposed to be DC voltage and you get AC, the adapter is bad.
The lamp on the power supply adapter should be on the minute it is plugged onto the AC outlet without the DC plug connected to the monitor, if it is not on then the AC adapter is bad, you can check the DC voltage with a digital meter. Post back so we can guide you further.
Remove the battery and plug the ac adaptor in check wethere the light on the port where you connect the ac adaptor glows or not, if no then check the wethere the ac adaptor is getting warm or not after you plug it in for few minutes if not then ac adaptor has to be replaced. If the light on the port is glowing then it is likely that the power supply of the notebook has gone bad as it is not able to switch to ac adaptor or the port where you connect the ac adaptor to the notebook has a short circut when the acadaptor pin is connected , better try with a different ac adaptor to be sure wethere the issue is with ac adaptor or the notebook.

Hello Just recently i had the same problem just with my guitar pedal. My adapter broke and i had to make another plan.
So i was left with 2 options, either stop playing guitar or buy a new adapter, which is expensive. I then found a multiadaper. With this you can choose between AC or DC, and you have different options to which voltage you need to use. Best of all, it is not expensive at all and you an basically use it for everything which needs an adapter. You can buy this at any electronic shop
look here the problem can be of two types,,first the problem can be of the adapter or the port in the computer where the adapter pluggs in the computer,,look for any friends or relatives using the same computer with the same good adapter,,plugg it into the computer,,if u dnt c the problem then prob with the adapter or else prob with motherboard
Hook up your power adaptor to ac power without it being hooked up to the laptop and see if the green light stays on. If it does then you know your adaptor is okay. if your adaptor is only hooked up to ac power and the green light still turns off then you know your ac adaptor is bad.
Take out the battery from your laptop. Now hook up the ac adaptor to the laptop and if it stays green then you know your battery is bad but you also want to make sure you can get your laptop to turn on. Hopefully it will turn on with only the ac adaptor hooked up to it.
