    Hubby used a voltage meter on the brick... all is well on that end. Can't say that it's ever been dropped.

    On hold with HP right now.

    You need the AC cord without the battery, or you SHOULD always be able to use that cord without the battery...
    Might be a problem with the cord itself? Taking it to a computer store and seeing if you can use a spare on of theirs and try it out... if that isn't it maybe it's time to look into getting a repair dude to check it out D:

    It's dead. It was the power port in the back. Repair was more expensive than a new one.

    Luckily we have a great computer guy who is going to build a desktop for my husband's business for $100 rather than getting a new laptop.

    A dead laptop still has value so don't forget that. So long as the screen was in decent shape its worth more then nothing. Don't just throw it away.
    Also it has other valuable parts in it. Memory etc.
