This is a laptop, right? If the charger is going bad then I suggest you move to a higher wattage charger next. For instance, if the currently failing charger is a 75W, I would replace it with a 90W or higher. Just make sure the voltage is the same and get one with a higher current rating.I got my computer all up and running, Now Debs computer is acting up. It messes around while charging. Looks like the power supply is going bad again. This is #2!! Great Computer but lousy power supplys!!! Have to get another one....#3!! Why do they quit charging anyway?? Are they that cheap?? Have a 1000 buck computer and a 10 dollar charger, Whats wrong with this picture??
Early failure is the sign of a charger that is being overworked. Does the brick get warm during use?
