I know it's a moot point now, dont you have a multi meter to test it with?

you prolly dont want to deal with a multi meeter on live ac current. this would be very dangerous. Im glad you got it sorted (without killing yourself) lol

matt I believe its actually DC and whitetop meant AC adaptor cos ive never seen a connector like that used for AC or a laptop with an on board that gets direct AC input

but no power

No power, still? Congrats, you most likely fried the laptop. Plugging a charger in wrong (in your case, the pins switched), overvolting, or pushing too many amps into a laptop will fry it.

Also: No laptop takes AC power. None. Absolutely none. The AC is converted into DC by the power adapter.
