I have a compaq laptop and recently the battery was not any good. I have been plugging in the charger instead of using a battery. Lately the light on the side of my computer hasnt been lighting up for the charger. Is there something wrong with my charger? How can I fix it? It is an HP charger. How much does a new one cost?
if your laptop is still getting powered on, the charger is fine. a new hp charger, depending on where you get it and how cheap quality it is in, varies. if you buy a 10 dollar charger, it will last an hour compared to a 50 dollar one. if you ever look into getting new chargers, i would personally suggest you visit topmicrousa they are very reliable and have yet to disappoint. if you have any more questions feel free to send me an email and ill be happy to help (^_^)/
Lately? if the computer is running what makes u think the charger is bad - since the battery is bad and won't run it by itself.????? if the computer stops because the battery is dead then u either have a break in the wire between charger and computer or have a broken connector on the computer. a cheap voltmeter will tell u if there is voltage at the connector from the charger - or sub out the charger. both are fixable - one costs a lot more than the other.
