Hi Art,
Do you have a multimeter?
Just check the voltage output of the transformer, Most likely, it is
not the transformer that has died, but the battery.
Another test would be to see if the laptop will boot while connected to
the transformer. If it does, that is an indication that the transformer
is good but the battery had died.
