I have a vintage Toshiba laptop which I believe has a bad power port (moving the plug allows it to see power but not start). I found one in the same series of laptops in great condition in Europe and purchased. The owner had tested and sent screen shots before shipment. It came with an AC Adapter with the following specs: Input 100V-240V AC, 0.7A-0.4A 50/60Hz, Output 18VDC 1.7A. It came with a European 2-prong plug which I replace with a US standard 2 prong plug. Checked the output voltage and got 18VDC. The laptop will not boot up. It lights up the power input indicator but that's it.
I am not familiar with European to US electrical swaps and would appreciate any direction.
