Hi

do you know if the problem is the external power supply or the laptop ?

does the power supply have a led to show it is connected to the mains?
In UK the mains plug (BS1363) would have a fuse which may have failed.

A volt meter (or multimeter) can be used to test the output of the power supply (typically 18V or 19V)

If buying a replacement power supply be aware that many cheap replacements are poor quality and counterfeit
