Need to confirm if we've got a broken PSU or a broken Chromebook. I need a 19v 2.37a 45W charged with the pin style plug.

 

Any chance someone in Auckland has a spare one I can borrow for testing.

I broke the charger for mine years back, so there's a cunning trick if you're cheap and have electronics parts kicking around.

 

 

 

File down a standard 0.1" pin header socket to be a bit more round - this fits inside the power jack and connects to the centre pin for your positive.

 

Use the screen of a USB cable for your ground.

 

Connect the above to a 19V supply from something else.
