power adapter flashes when plugged in to laptop, unit wont power up
Alienware 15r2,
AC adapter light flashes once plugged in to laptop. It then has to be removed from power to reset it. Kinda like it senses a short when plugged in and goes into a safe mode.
I have replaced DC input assembly inside the laptop. Checked all connections to the best of my limited ability. Looking through forums , the next step seems to be replacing the mainboard. Just wondering if there is a test to determine if this is really required.
Thanks for any info
Cheers
Phil
Ist dies eine gute Frage?
Does it boot to the bios or post?

And does using another power adapter yield any results?

i tried a different power adapter, same result. It doesnt boot up at all, all that happens is the power adapter light flashes...
