Laptop power lead not working following MS update

    Must be coincidence as I can't see how the MS Update could affect the power supply to your laptop.

    First things to check:
    • Plug is fully inserted into mains socket
    • Socket is switched on
    • Mains lead is fully inserted into power adapter
    • LED on power adapter is lit
    • Plug is fully inserted into laptop
    • Fuse in mains plug
    How do I add a signature?
