    The power supply is 19Volts Output Amp 3.42Amps. If you have a 19v supply and the plug fits correctly in the laptop, you can try it. If you are not getting power with a known good power supply, you may have a bad power socket with cracked/ broken solder joints. Does the plug wobble around in the laptop? If not that then motherboard problems.
