So, the power adapter arrived yesterday and as crap luck would have it, it's not working. The power adapter box has an indicator light on to show it's working wen I plug it into the mains, yet the second I plug it into this system, the indicator light on the power adapter box goes off, and sure enough I can't turn the PC or monitor display on.
Is this system I bought just no good? I'd imagine if there was an issue with the power supply inside the PC it would just not turn on, but why would the indicator light on the transformer box of the power lead turn off when plugged in (even though the system power is turned off by the switch on the bottom)? The ac adapter I bought was 7.9A, not 5.5A as I later discovered on a sticker on the unit, but the amp rating being higher shouldn't be an issue should it?
Any help would be appreciated.
