I have a Compaq CQ70 220-EM and I've had it about a year now.In that time I have been through about eight chargers.The one that came with the laptop lasted for six months.I did accidentally break my laptop once but it got fixed.Could it be that one of the pins inside the laptop has broken?And how does a pin inside the laptop break the chargers?Is there any other reason why this could be happening.Thanks in advance for your replies.
a power serge broke mine /:
You need one that can handle higher wattage like 90 watt or 120 watt
examine in the journey that your charger enter as a results of fact the comparable as in the country you're in. If no longer, it probable that your charger is located someplace the place it could obtain warmth (for occasion: close to the heater, suitable in front of a window the place it could obtain photograph voltaic etc.) in case you prefer your charger for use longer, it extremely is often recommended to instruct of the charger at an identical time as the pc is became off besides to keep away from overheat.
Yes it is possible that the repair is overloading the chargers. If the pins were not soldered on correctly and theirs a short it could be causing the chargers to work harder and overheat. Only other reason would be if you have a lot of fluctuations in power from your outlet. A voltage regulator could help with that. But if you don't see your lights dimming frequently (caused by 'brown outs') then I doubt that is the problem.
Are you buying these chargers off OKorder or amazon? That could be a quality issue since most of them are cheap and break easily. Are you sure its your charger and not your DC jack? The DC jack is the area where you connect the laptops charger to the laptop itself. The DC jack may be loose, which connects your charger to your laptop. If you get frequent charging/not charging then it could be your DC jack. Take good care of the charger, yanking or pushing the charger in too deeply can damage it. Good luck!
