tried it with 2 other chargers - same resultsIt is possibly just the charger that's bad but you would need another one to see.
If the used laptop is the exact same model as yours, you can move your hard drive, ram and battery over to it and it should power up and work without a hitch.
Well if it charges up your battery then it should be a cheap solution. The laptop should charge the battery as long as it will power up. It doesn't require an OS to boot as charging is a basic hardware function.tried it with 2 other chargers - same results
i would use the used one as a charging dock onlyi need that program just a few times a year and a full battery would get me through each session
