    ehm.. I think my notebook adaptor just died on me.
    Right now, whenever I plug in to the plug, the light will not light up, and when I put it near my ear, it will emit sound like time bomb :faint:
    Has anyone experience this before? need advice :wall: :wall:

    thanks :(

    Adapter might emit sound, it's normal. Wat light are you refering to? On the notebook or the adapter itself?

    The notebook still can on using battery, but since battery has dropped, practically it can't be used now.

    so if the adaptor died, then I'll buy the universal one, but I want to be sure first before spending some.

    ps. Replying from phone.

    normally adapter light will be on if there is power.

    since your case, it is not on, most likely is adapter problem. hmm.

    you can always try to borrow a friends adapter to see if its really your adapter at fault.

    what laptop are you using ?

    Oooo .. I got a case before, motherboard power chip burn. So could not charge battery or power on with adapter. The adapter do not have an LED indicator on it. Luckily it was still under warrenty. Got it replaced .. phew ..

    Using acer aspire 5551 ANWXCi, 2 years old, no more warranty.
    Tried use my friends adaptor, can on without using battery.
    Looks like its the adaptor problem. Will the universal adaptor be sufficient?
