Poor little laptop

The laptop that runs my little mill won't even turn on this morning.· it must be totally dead.· Does anyone have a reasonably good laptop for sale.· I don't need much - 64kb RAM, maybe 1Gb Hard drive, Windows ME.· It does have to have a working USB port so I can use my Cruzon Mini 128MB memory stick.

    Check the voltage on your laptop's power brick.

    I've already done that, Forrest.· The laptop is a Dell Inspiron.· The lower connector coming from the power supply has three little pin sockets:

    ······· A
    ····· B·· C

    The voltage from A (ground) to B is 19.6VDC.· There is no reading from A to C.· I assume the power supply is OK.
