  • Still contact the laptop warranty people and, although it expired a few days back, argue that you would expect it to work for considerably longer than a year. I have a 7 year old laptop that works just as well as it did the day I bought it. Come up with other examples of technology you have that's older than a year and see if they'll still accept it for repair.

    Can you edit the question with the make and model of the laptop?

    @BigChris: I called the customer service before posting it here. They were telling it is going to cost $179 to $279 + taxes and 90 days warrenty. I still can't decide spending almost $300 and getting only 90 days

    OK, not a problem. When you say you tried another charger, did you try a completely different charge (mains cable AND charger/PSU unit)? From your question, the charger unit has an LED that is also not lighting up? Does this do the same with the other charger you tried? Are they both tested working with a voltmeter - your title says it works, but your question body isn't clear - does it initially turn on and then off? Finally, have you tried wiggling the charger connector in the laptop to see if the on-board connector isn't faulty?

    Does your region use fused plugs? If so check to see if the plug fuse has blown.
