So i have this hp laptop for like 2 years, it is working well but i have some problems with the charger.


The charger is composed of two parts:
1- The part that reaches the power supply.

2- Some kind of electricity convertor attached with a wire that reaches the laptop.


I am quite sure that the electricity passes through the first part reaching the electricity convertor (or whatever it is called), But it doesn't go any further.

And yeah the mother board isn't damaged afaik.

That charger is kinda new (less than 4 months old) but it just stopped working yesterday for no obvious reason (i gave it to my brother, next morning it wasn't working, he doesn't remember anything unusual).

I will buy another one if i have to, but i prefer not if possible.

Tried moving the wire, another power supply, using an air blower to clean the laptop (i dunno why but i thought it might help), removing the battery, but nothing that i could think of really helped and google didn't really help.

So yeah i am out of ideas and wondering if you can even fix a charger without getting a new one.

A/ Does the charger work on an other laptop? (does it charge battery/supply power)
B/ Does ur laptop work with a different charger?

New charger -> has 6 months warranty (normally)

you should be able to buy both of those pieces seperatly, i found both parts for when i needed another similar electrical item that i needed to power (a guitar effects processor)

i shopped at an electronics store and found multiple cables for the power part ranging from usb to wall sockets to the 3pin plugs that go into the back of pc's and all sorts and the power converter thing i managed to find many things for that too

@Razorhead : I would go with B.

I suppose there is still some time left on the warranty but where does it normally get written (on the case or on the charger ?), i still have the case.

I won't be able to go for that electronic store for two more days but thanks for the info both of you ^^
