I have a dell inspirion mini that i have not used in well over a year. Couldn't find the original charger but my universal charger for laptop fits and the voltage input is the same.
If you plug the charger in, nothing happens. Not even a charging light. Taking out the battery and plugging in the charger produces the same result.
I'm wondering if perhaps it needs to be plugged in for a while before anything will happen due to how long its just been sitting, like a cell phone that's been dead for so long that not even having it plugged in to a charger will turn the phone on until you charge it for a few minutes.
Any thoughts or steps I could take for troubleshooting?
