First let's take a moment to define what a Laptop Charger is.
It's a device which supplies energy to a laptop.
All you have to do is plug it into an electrical outlet and it begins working immediately.
It works in a double way.
The energy will charge the computer's battery while providing power for the computer as well.
A laptop charger may stop working for various reasons.
One of the reasons is that the charger could become worn and frayed so that the wiring is exposed.
If that is what has happened, then the laptop charger could stop working and will not charge the computer.
Even if the device is still functioning and you notice this problem, stop using it.
It could be a fire hazard and that's a risk you shouldn't take.
Making Repairs Yourself Always remember not to attempt anything too complicated if you do make repairs on your charger yourself.
In the end, you can do more harm than good, so it's best to only tackle what you're familiar with.
Here are a few examples of situations in which you can make repairs on your laptop adapter yourself: 1.
Frayed and worn areas in the cord -- Even if you don't have a current problem, it would be wise to periodically check the laptop charger for frayed and worn areas.
If left unattended these could cause a fire down the road, so take the time to check.
Also examine the part of the charger that gets plugged into the computer for any dirty or bent pins.
You should also check the end of the plug that goes into the outlet to make sure the pins aren't loose and that they are straight.
Always use a genuine adapter.
2.
Clean laptop power supply -- This refers to the part of the charger that gets inserted into the computer.
Should the metal components of the charger become dirty or bent, they will not connect within the computer, and it won't charge up.
You can use a cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol on it to clean the surface of the metal and the pins.
3.
Move damaged pins -- If there should be any pins that are stuck or bent inside of the part of the charger that is inserted into the computer, you should straighten or move them.
If they are left as they are, the charge probably won't be sent to the computer.
In this case, it is important that if any pins need to be replaced, they must come specifically from the maker.
4.
Repair Frays -- If you do find any frayed areas on the cord, you can repair them yourself.
All you need is a silicone sealer.
Rub sealer over the damaged area and let it dry however long the directions say.
That should take care of the problem.
If you have to buy a new cord, make sure that it is high quality one.
