My second adapter
Few months ago, my Compaq power adapter died on me. So I got myself a new 3rd party adapter, just like the image above ❓
I always wonder what kind of effects it would have on my laptop other than the tingling sensation when I put my finger in the RJ45 (network) port. Yesterday, my laptop went on a strike, it just wont start ❗
As an engineering graduate, I can not hide my overwhelming curiosity. So I pulled out my technician kit* and decided to disassemble my laptop to its final bits. After fiddling with the parts, I noticed, nothing is wrong with the components. That was the biggest upset, 5 hours of trouble shooting and I found nothing 😐
Let’s tap the power source! *Light-bulb* I plugged the power adapter into my digital oscilloscope and found out that the AC supplied wasn’t stable. It fluctuates as it pleases! 😯
Moral of the Story, ‘Do not buy cheap 3rd party electrical products‘. It almost fried my hard disk, mother board and other components 🙄
ps: I will die of boredom if my laptop out to repair 😥
pss: My laptop is considerably cheap, it’s the data thats worth milllions (I think)
psss: *technician kit includes digital oscilloscope, multi meters, screw drivers, anti static gloves and a hammer (to knock when it doesn’t work)
Which reminded me of a line in Armageddon,”Russian and American components, is the same, all made in Taiwan“

Nope. Tgh tunggu pricing dari Lenovo ni, nak ThinkPad T60i.
Evo dan Pavillion same power adapter, aku pon pakai Compaq Evo nye adapter ni ➡
guna car plug pula…. memang tak takut motherboard spoil. Tetikus and headset guna mahal punya tapi adapter guna cheap 1 =,=

I praise you to apply your knowledge to repair the laptop and your suggestions may benefit me. I will remain cautious of 3rd party products. Thanks for the post. I appreciate the blogger for quotation that is “I walk slowly, but I never walk backward.”- Abraham Lincoln
