I found a 16V power supply from an older Sony 505 I used to have. My brother's laptop immediately responded - LEDs on front lit up, etc.

Could there still be an issue with a weak solder connection between the power jack and the motherboard that is causing a lot of resistance, thus causing heat buildup in the power wires feeding the laptop?

I have not had enough time to evaluate the new power supply to see if it is exhibiting the same behavior (heating up a lot).

Thanks for the info so far.
