good morning all,

a friend brought me her laptop, a dell inspiron 6000. if i plug in the power supply to the back of the laptop, the power supply turns off and wont charge the laptop. I have tried other chargers thinking it might be the charger but they all do the same thing. Also, when i do plug in the charger to the laptop, i hear a small noise similar to a "short". the laptop does power up, but the battery is very low in charge. so i know the laptop is good.

any ideas of what can be causing this?

thanks in advance.

paul
