662496 2008-04-25 08:53:00 Have a friends Compaq Presario R3000 here will not charge I think when plugged into the mains power light initially stays on then after about 30 secs starts to flash on and off, is there a way I can test the adapter? Don't want to buy a universal one encase the laptop is dead although I did manage to start it and log on for about 2 mins then it just shut down, it has done this several times anyone got any suggestions?

:badpc:

662497 2008-04-25 12:05:00 Hmmmm... How about a solution from the other end? Perhaps you can test the power adaptor on another laptop (preferably the same brand / model).

Cheers :)

If you've got a multimeter use that to check the output voltage and currrent.
