I have an HP laptop that I am trying to use via an Inverter power
supply. I bought a 400W inverter, and the laptop DC transformer says
90W. I plug the inverter into my vehicle cig lighter, from the
inverter is the DC transformer to the laptop. As soon as the inverter
see's the laptop load, it starts squeeling like a pig. The inverter
cig plug almost blistered my hand when I dosconnected. This happened
with a 200W inverter that I originally bought. Figured it wasn't quite
big enough, so went with 400W and getting the exact same result.
Since this is a different inverter, I am ruling this out as the
problem. Is there something going on with rectifying the inverter
output using the laptop DC converter? This came with the laptop by the
way. Any feedback welcome. Thanks as always.
