A similar thing happened to my 5300c. It was working fine before the trackpad broke and I brought it in under the REA. When I got it back, it didn't work at all - not under the adapter, not under the battery (which I knew was toasted). After much frustration, I narrowed it down to the adapter. I took a multimeter and tried to get a voltage reading off it (the 5300's is 24V) but there was nothing. So I opened up the adapter and got a voltage reading right at the base of the cord, so the plug itself was bad - I cut it off and soldered on a cheapo part I got at Radio Shack. It's ugly (I had to cut some of the plastic on the plug to get it to fit in the case) but it the computer works fine now!
