An Inspiron 4150 works fine with the battery (almost depleated), but will not work with the DC converter (does not dectect the connection), and will not work without the battery in place. The output pins of the DC converter at the end socket have the usual 20Vdc out, and they show on the output pins from the socket on the mainboard as 20Vdc coming in, so it is not a converter problem. I assume it must be a problem on the motherboard where it detects that the external power is being applied...
Is there any way that the battery can be charged outside the laptop just to rescue the data? or should the hard drive just be transfered to other laptop? Thank you for any recommendation(s)...
