I recently bought an adapter to up the 12 v to 19 v required by the laptop and have it plugged into a Hella socket, all works fine. I then bought an extension lead so I can position the lappy where I need it.
It lights up the battery light ok but shuts down a couple of seconds after switching on, I should add the lappy battery is knackered so it needs the external power source.
Seems like there is insufficient power getting to it with the extension lead ?
Does anyone know a why the extension lead seems to loose this much power to stop it working ?
Edit, extension lead is about 2 metres
