I'm using a sony vaio e series laptop with ubuntu 14.04 installed a week ago.
The problem is my laptop is getting no power supply. i've checked charger its fine. the battery is not getting charged and i tried removed the battery and connected charger and to turn back on. but nothing happened. i've seen many videos in youtube none of them are listed my problem.
Re: Laptop is not getting power supply, no issues with adapter(charger))
When you say that your power supply is "just fine" how have you checked it ??
Apart from the DC jack input there is also a possibility that the cable feeding into it is broken whilst any indicator on the power supply will still show as working. Try measuring the voltage output at the plug or using another power supply / charger of the same type to see if the laptop will power on or charge the battery.

Some DC jacks do have play on them when you move them because Manufacturers went away from an on-board jack to another kind that is fitted into position and wires run to the motherboard. That is not to say that it can't be damaged by accidental mishandling. What is does stop is the jack being broken and causing burn damage (through bad joints) to the motherboard,
You haven't told me yet how you know that the charger is good. Have you tested it elsewhere or tried another charger of the same type on your laptop ?
Re: Laptop is not getting power supply, no issues with adapter(charger))
Hey thankyou for ur reply. i already mentioned that there is no issues with external power supply. i think the female connector that is connected to the motherboard i think so is slightly moving.
if this is the problem how can i solve it.
i forget to say that i previously taken this laptop to sony service center. they said that it has chunk display and os is not booting, after 2days they called me and said that motherboard need to be replaced but it costs 28k INR. i said no and took it back and checked throughly and found that issue is with my graphic chip(adapter) and it cant handle drivers so i installed ubuntu an os which no need of drivers it works but not so good later a week this charging issue araised.
i can solve any kind of software issues but i'm not an expert in handling hardware.
suggest me any kind of solutions for charging issue....

Hey thanks again,
you've asked that "How u checked ur charger" - it got an led glowing brighter n green as always.
i've removed the battery when connecting it to a charger but it turned off when i removed it.
May be nothing can help me except the hardware replacement. So i thank for u all helping me finding out that it is a hardware problem and not to be solved on my own. i've got to take it to a service center.

Thanks for u all once again for helping me. Now the problem is solved.
