Howszit?
I have found that as laptops get older, the batteries do degrade. Try removing the batteries and power only from the mains. I think the power charging circuit actually sucks all of the power from your charger attempting to charge the battery! Your laptops will start but will turn off if your mains fail, (obviously).
Hope this helps..

Switch the AC Adapters and see how it goes.
They should be the same voltages. You can double check by looking at the sticker on the adapter and compare it to the one on the bottom of the laptop. I'm going to agree with the repair guy and put it on the DC jack on the laptop, but can't really put my finger on it without your adapter and a multimeter

Tried that idea but no help. Still does the same thing. Repairman says both motherboards are fried. Just odd that they would goes out within days of each other and be different ages and models.
