Pavilion 14-ce3504na Power Up Problem

fastrack-1966 · ‎03-08-2026

Please find attached an aerial view of the AC socket. Strange thing is it worked fine and now only works from the battery. Of course the batt will die soon and I may be left with a useless laptop. The PSU is fine I've tested it at 19 volts. It's just when it is plugged into the laptop with the battery disconnected there is no power to the laptop

I understand you are facing an issue with the AC socket. We request that you perform the power drain and check:

Perform Power drain:

1) Shut down the computer.

2) Unplug all the Adapters and peripherals connected.
