Laptop power supply problem
I am using a Dell Latitude D500 laptop, running Windows Xp Pro. When I plug in the power cable to charge it nothing happens. The charging light usually comes on. When I load up Windows it doesnt recognize that I have plugged in the cable. It thinks it is still using the battery.
I dont think that power pack is to blame as the green light is on and when I measure the voltage using my multimeter it says its running at 19.5 volts as it should.
Anyone have any idea what is happening?

If this doesn't work you may have an error either on another chip that sends the Power On signal (the circuit is burnt, broken, chip damaged etc) or in the charger. Only 2 pins have the 19.5 - 20 Vcc tension, the third is used for Power On signal.
