Hiya Lynda,is the power supply itself kn****red or is it just the wire inside the lead broken?
Had the same problem myself,but have sorted it-wire broken right next to transformer on laptop side.Try plugging the lead in and wiggling the lead and see if the charge light on laptop lights up.If so may need a bit of resoldering.Good luck Swampy.

[lynda66]

it's the little box bit, it doesn't light up, i changed the lead to it, but still nowt ..... even when i wriggle it, it was working, then the battery ran out cos of no charge

[swampy]

Maybe an internal fuse then,can't you unscrew it and see if there is one or get a multimeter and test it?

[lynda66]

theres no screws, i could probably smack it with a hammer though ....... multimeter is that summat electrical ?????? i have enough problems working the cooker

[allotmentlady]

aye whack it girl.........see what happens lol

[swampy]

Multimeter-used for testing electrical circuits/continuity.
Try cutting in half with a hacksaw!!!

[lynda66]

oh right, nope not got one of them, are they cheap?? can i use a jigsaw?? ...... i'm gonna be even quieter now i have all them gardening books

[allotmentlady]

you wont you canot stay away, curiosity gets the better of you lol

[swampy]

Curiosity gets the better of all of us!!!!
Just a thought,has the box got rubber feet on it,if so screws may be hidden beneath them.If not send it to me to threaten with a cold screwdriver!

[lynda66]

nope it's just a sealed square plastic box in the middle of the wire. i have 2, the other one stopped working too do you think you can fix em??
