I've got a salvaged version of an Acer Aspire 4810T laptop, but the power cable doesn't seem to be putting out juice. In an case, plugged in, it doesn't power on. No sounds, no lights, no nuthin. I wonder if someone else with a working power adapter might be willing to meet me somewhere mutually convenient and I can plug it in and see if that's my problem.
If it's just a matter of spending $N on a power adapter to get another working laptop, that might be worth it. But spending $N on something that remains a brick is less appealing. While investigating the plug, I noticed that there are three conductors in the cable. A "signal" (so-labelled on the converter board) wire runs down the center. I don't know if the signaling goes from the ac/dc brick to the laptop or from the laptop to the ac/dc brick, neither or both. Otherwise, it's center pin positive. It's a 19V 4.32A adapter.
