Hi having some problems charging my laptop. Problem started yesterday when it randomly stopped charging so i checked the part that connects and saw that the metal part of it had burn marks. Donno if that was caused by the laptop or the charger. The laptops insured but the charger isnt. The charger still works kinda if i hold the wire at a certain angle. So just want to know is it the wire or the laptop. The charger will cost to replace but id assume it was the charger but just wanted to be sure its not the laptop because i can get that replaced for free.
the problem may be the charger because of the smell but since the computer is insured it could not hurt to have the computer check to make sure that it is not pulling onto much power. the charger also will need to be replace anyway since it did get burn. the charger may also have a short in the the wiring.
Power jack on the motherboard is loose
Loose power port pin to mother board at back of lap top. Bad A/C adapter charger female connector plug. Bad A/C charger power converter. If lap top is working then the problem is with charger as if it over charged it would burn out the battery and mother board and even other components. Would suggest taking in to have checked as well as checking the A/C charge adapter. If the lap top is covered by warranty then the power adapter should be also if it came with the lap top, just ask if covered.
