I have been following the current thread with growing gloom...I have a 520 that came with two power supplies...one utterly dead, and one that powers the machine for about 40 seconds, just about through a no-extensions boot of 7.6, then cuts off. Pull the AC off, replace the cord, and it is good for another 25-35 seconds. Each retry is a little shorter. I get the same whether the (shot) battery is in or not. It looks like it runs fine other than this.
Anybody know what might be doing that? Some sort of thermal breaker?? I have the totally dead one about half chopped apart, and if I know where to look I might be able to fix or work around the problem. Failing that, does anyone know which prongs in the machine end of the plug run the machine, and which charge the battery?? I may get desparate enough to whip together a run-only PS using the cord of the utterly dead one. It won't be pretty, but it'll work. And finally, is that confirmed 16 volts to run?
