    @JimHIbbert: When you're not busy leading a horse, please consider editing your answer to make it more explicit--exactly what are you recommending that the OP do to solve the problem? Try any different transformer? Try one of a smaller size? Try an older one? Borrow the one you used successfully? The one you used had different specs; what specs can be different and by how much? What were the things that didn't work? Are you recommending using a lower-capacity transformer to speed up the laptop? Does "presto" imply that magic is required? :-)

  • I apologise for being abrupt. My contribution was simply an account of my experience which led to my problem of battery not charging being solved. I am not an expert, just a computer user. I would not apply a voltage or an amperage greater than the supply that came with the computer. However, I'm pretty confident applying a lower amperage can do no harm. The worst that can happen is that the computer will not work. I wouldn't change the voltage. Saying a few magic words and crossing your fingers can't do any harm either. Good luck and good wishes.
