If the light on the adapter goes out when you plug it into the laptop there is most likely a mainboard power circiut fault as i said this laptop is dell's low end they are excellent when they run but soon as you have a problem you either try to find parts or buy a new laptop,you can look on ebay for a mainboard that would be your best bet ,i myself have one sitting right here with a bad board,i do not think that repairing the board is worth the money you will have to spend.let me know how it goes,there is a mainboard on ebay under laptop motherboard for a buy it now price of $125.00 US not including shipping.
