Dell Adamo: What cable could cause the PXE-E61 Media Test failure?

Thu, 31 May 2018 23:46:19 -0700

When I boot my Adamo, it won't find my operating system. It boots and then gives the PXE-E61 error. Could the SSD connector cable be defective?

Dell Adamo: damaged internal dc plug

Sat, 02 May 2015 10:26:15 -0700

I have a Dell Adamo 13, my internal power connector is broken (the one that is on the motherboard) do you know where i can buy only this part or how to repair it? I don't want to change the motherboard becouse it's only a small piece that is broken.

If this part is unavailable do you have schematics of this part?

Do you have alternative solutions?

Thank you very much

Dell Adamo: Laptop won't power on without battery

Mon, 14 May 2018 02:29:36 -0700

I have the Dell Adamo laptop. My Adapter broke and I fixed it and it worked for a while but then broke again. When I repaired the adapter I think I crossed the wires and when I plugged it back into the laptop I think it damaged something because now the computer will not power on. I brought a brand new adapter but it still will not power on when the battery is disconnected. If I connect the battery it boots just fine.

So in summary:

1. Power Adapter works

2. Computer powers on with battery and everything works fine. Boots into Windows etc.

3. Once battery is dead or disconnected, laptop will not power on.

4. I think something is damaged on the motherboard preventing it from charging the battery and powering the computer.

I was wondering how I can repair this on the motherboard. Everything is together so I can't just buy another board for cheap. I was hoping someone could look at the board and tell me what they think is damaged.

Here is a picture of the motherboard. The power adapter is part 932CA.
