When I plug my Inspire 3 in, it does not always charge immediately. Can this be fixed?

    No charge LED indicates no battery connected or a broken power adapter. Open the laptop and disconnect the battery cable from the motherboard and examine carefully the inside DC Jack connector and all diodes if anything looks burned. If no burned parts and no burned odor, press the power button for 1-2 minutes continuously (don't toggle the button), leave the battery disconnected. close the laptop and plug-in the power adapter, try to boot. If this works, reconnect the battery and plug-in the adapter, see if the amber light comes on, if no light and no boot you need to replace the battery. If nothing works try to find an adapter with the same voltage 19V, 2.37A, 45W and a plug with pin diameter 3.0mm x 1.1mm. Alternatively test the DC output voltage at the pin of the plug with a multimeter/DC voltmeter if it reads19 VDC or bring/send the laptop to Acer Services in your country for repairs, include the power adapter.
