Please give me some comment if you have same experiences.

I add the same problem. It turn out the connection inside the adaptor to the lower voltage side is very prone to short circuit. I broke open the adaptor no screw, probably snaps or glue, and I cut the plastic protector of the low voltage wire. Inside, there where signs of short circuit. A bit of electric tape, and I work like new, like I said, it is not as pretty as is was, but it work.

The dell power connector is held in place by narrow flanges. It is easy to break one side or both and this causes the power connector to move enough to sometimes connect and frequently stop connecting. If the laptop is in warranty, contact Dell tech support. If it is out of warranty, find a take apart instruction that matches your laptop and check to see if the power connector is loose in the case.

Another thing that sometimes happens is the power connector gets damaged when the power cable is pulled out at an angle. There should be a black plastic insulator in the middle of the power connector, the insulator protects the inner contact from shorting out on the barrel of the power cable. The power connector is different from each model, although the pin out is the same; so be careful which power connector you get.

Hi, check the exposed wire and if the exposed wires are shorted then isolate with a proper insulation. Try it again for LED glow. If charging is ok then go for bisecting the adapter and check the soldering inbetween the LED, resistor and the power connection. May be this will help you.

When I pluge in the ac adapter into my labtop the led light goes off. When I unplug it from my labtop the led light comes back on. I have an Iveiw 2 in 1 labtop. The ac adapter is a universal 45 watt adapter. And it is not charging my labtop.

Well I have the same problem but when I opened my account adapter the part which connects the cord that plugs into an outlet was sparking. That where the sparking noise I heard came from. Maybe a material is damaged or my account something worn out.
