MSI Wind - Answered Questions & Fixed Issues

It sounds like a power cord issue could be the problem, as you have confirmed that the power cord is not working using a volt meter. However, it is also possible that the power supply in the MSI u100 netbook has failed, which would prevent it from turning on even with a working power cord. Additionally, the fact that the Seagate hard drive also failed and was warm to the touch suggests that there may have been a power surge or other electrical issue that caused both devices to fail. It would be best to take your netbook to a professional repair shop to diagnose and repair the problem.

Yes the AC Cord does go bad , you can also look at the power jack at the back of the Laptop to see if it is loose when you plug it in. I always start with the plug they are usually cheaper than a battery.
