My HP 239427-001 Adapter is not Working for me

A non-functional hp 239427-001 adapter can cause big problems; especially if the computer’s battery is low or drained. In addition to preventing you from getting your work done, it can also be an electrical shock or fire hazard.

Troubleshooting a non-working adapter 239427 001 can be difficult because there are several factors that could be at fault if the computer is not getting power. If you are at the end of your rope, there are a few hints to help get your computer up and running.

Laptop computers run off battery, or DC power. DC means “Direct Current,” and refers to the way current flows from the source. Direct current is basically a continuous and steady stream of energy. The adapter that came with your laptop computer is known as an AC adapter, which converts the Alternating Current supplied by your wall outlet into the Direct Current that is required to run your laptop. Alternating current does not flow as a steady stream.

A big cause of laptop adapter failures is cord crimps. These can occur when an office chair with casters rolls over the cord on a hard surface. The conductor of the cord can eventually break under the stress of being rolled over. If the cord or insulation is not completely severed, it may not show where the short has occurred. Since most adapters include an LED that will light up when the device is plugged in, a good indicator that there is a short would be an unlit LED.Any time the adapter has cuts in the insulation of its cord, or is otherwise missing pieces of its insulation, it should be replaced immediately. Bare wires carry a risk of serious or fatal shocks, as well as possible fire hazard. Do not attempt to repair your AC adapter. Contact the laptop’s manufacturer or seller to find information about a replacement adapter.

The portion of your adapter that does all the work is colloquially referred to as the “brick.” The brick is the heavy box that sits between the wall and your computer and is connected by a permanent cord and one that may be removable. The brick, for all its heft, contains some delicate components, and can be damaged fairly easily if it is dropped from a considerable height. Generally speaking, if the brick stops working, the LED that indicates power will not light. If the brick portion of your adapter is not working, you will have to replace the adapter. Contact your computer’s manufacturer or the seller for information about a replacement adapter.

The point on your computer to which your adapter connects is not prone to failure, but, being soldered to the motherboard with little other support, can break. If your computer only powers intermittently, or you have to “wiggle” the adapter to get power, there’s a good possibility that the power input on your computer has broken. This is not an easy or quick fix; you may need to replace the entire motherboard, depending on your computer model. A technician should be able to diagnose the problem and give you a price quote on the repair. In some cases, the computer may not be worth the price of the repair.

The easiest way to test your laptop ac adapter is to plug it in. In addition to the adapter’s LED, there should be an additional LED on your computer to indicate that the computer is getting power from the outlet. If neither of these LEDs lights, then there is definitely a power problem. If an identical, “known good” adapter can be obtained, connect it to your computer. If the computer gets power from the new adapter, then a replacement adapter will fix the problem. If the computer does not get power from either adapter, there is probably an issue with the computer. At this point, it is recommended that the computer be brought to a PC repair technician for diagnosis.

Jury-rigging should never be attempted, due to the risk of shocks, fire and damage to the computer. Do not use another computer’s adapter if it is not the same model or brand, even if it fits. Failure to match input and output voltages on laptop adapters could damage the computer, the adapter or both. Contact the manufacturer or the seller of your computer for information about replacement adapters.

If you cannot find a brand and model-specific replacement adapter for your computer, it may be possible to purchase a laptop universal power, which includes multiple, interchangeable tips. You will need to find one that matches your original adapter’s wattage, and it should also include a matching or switchable voltage output.

We must have accessories for laptops

Laptop accessories are additional items that can be used to enhance the performance of a laptop computer, improve user experience, or assist in the protection of the laptop.

A laptop is a computer that has a built-in keyboard and a folding screen. Laptops vary widely in size, thickness, and weight and provide computer users the ability to work in a wide range of locations.

Most of the time people wouldn’t give much importance to these kind of accessories (such as laptop battery ,laptop replacement keyboard,laptop ac adapter,laptop car charger,laptop universal power) as they gave for the main things. In our case the customers will give less importance for the laptop accessories when compared to a new laptop before buying it. But the thing is the laptop case is going to protect the main thing i mean the laptop. Like that only all the accessories have their own roles protecting their main things or primary things. In this article I have shared some basic ideas on choosing a laptop case .A lot of companies out there giving false information for people regarding their products. So the wise thing is we should snag information’s regarding a product before going to buy one.http://www.udtek.com/laptop-battery-c-1.html


The desktop ages are over, and now everywhere laptops have become a part of people in everyday life. The laptop has turned into a must have product while going for offices or while going for some business trips. While going for buying a laptop mostly people will ignore important things to be considered. This happens because they are ready to spend a lot of money for the laptops, but when it comes to accessories they are satisfied with the freebies given with these big things. That’s the reason most of the companies are giving their customers a laptop cases with their products, But Giants like Sony and Dell don’t have any free option like those, because they don’t want to give their customers some cheap laptop cases as a free thing. Regular cases, which are given with the laptops are soft and they are used for only common accidents not for the hard bumps or drops or water. Below are the some of the important guidelines you should have a look while going for a new laptop case.

The first and the foremost thing you should consider should be the waterproof property of the laptop because the most often the laptops are affected by water only. So its wise to test the laptop case there itself in the store before making the purchase. And the next thing you should consider is the chemical resistant proof on the top of the case. Most of the leather cases will come with this option only. The third thing you should have a serious look is the space inside the bag. If it is used only for carrying a laptop then you can go for ordinary ones, but if you need to put something else like mobile phones or chargers for the laptops. These are the important things you have to take a look before making a buy. I could confirm that the knowledge presented above can give you a real advantage.
