How to figure out if you have a problem with a bad ac charger adapter or bad charging port inside your laptop. When the laptop is not working because the battery is not charging, or charging intermittently, you may have a broken wire inside charger or a bad charging port. To know for sure you can test the output voltage of your charger with a multimeter to see if it's good

Hello, thank you for a nice video. You're stating 4% difference as acceptable. May I have a question please: I've bought a replacement adaptor from china to power my appliance rated at 11V/2.73A. Adaptor was supposed to be 11V/3A. I believe higher amperage should be fine. But when I test with multimeter I'm getting 12.34V. I've discussed this with the seller and he is claiming the without load it shall show higher voltage than on the sheet. Is this an acceptable difference(+12%)? Or I'm risking to burn my device.

@Your-Self 3 жыл бұрын

If your charging cord checks out well, then most likely, the problem is with the port inside the laptop. It's very difficult to replace the port by yourself. Most repair shops don't want to deal with it either. There is a good channel that shows how to do it or can fix it for you for $100 plus shipping, or $60 if you ship the motherboard only. kzfaq.infovideos

Hey, very useful video! However don't have a multimeter - my charger needs to be constantly moved around to charge. When I try gaming it doesn't connect at all ... From your experience is this likely due to a faulty charger ? I don't see any obvious damage to the port and I ran diagnostics which showed no problem with the laptop battery Thanks !

@Your-Self 3 ай бұрын

Unfortunately, without a multimeter, you have about a 50/50 chance of damage. Try borrowing a multimeter or the same charger as yours from a friend/neighbor. If not available, buy a new charger. And if the new charger doesn't solve the problem, it's a port.

Unfortunately, if the cord is good, there is nothing else you can do yourself. You can take it to a repair shop, and only they would be able to confirm if the port is bad or maybe there is another problem inside your device. About 20 years ago, it was easy to replace bad components, but not today.
