What if your charger is not working and when you try other chargers it is still not working?

There are several ways to troubleshoot this problem. I'll start with the easiest and work my way to the more expensive and difficult.
1. Make sure that the wall outlet you're plugged into is working. Test it with another device.
2. Your laptop battery might be installed incorrectly or may have become loose. Make sure that it is properly installed and locked into place.
3. Your laptop battery could be defective or old and may no longer hold a charge. You could order a cheap generic brand replacement battery from Amazon for 15-30$.
4. Your power-pack/cable that connects the laptop to the wall might be old and defective. You can typically find a cheap generic replacement on Amazon for between 10-30$.
5. A cable on the inside of your laptop might have come loose or unattached from the motherboard. Some laptops are easy to open and repair, but some models are welded and riveted shut and will require professional service.
6. The connector pin on the back of your laptop where your wall adapter plugs into is broken or loose. This can happen when the laptop is knocked around or the plug is pulled too hard. The connector pin can actually pull itself loose from the motherboard. This can only be repaired by a professional and may cost anywhere from 150-400$ to repair. This is usually not worth the cost to fix unless the laptop is very new and very expensive.
I don't recommend opening a laptop yourself unless you are a professional. It also usually voids the warranty. If you need parts, you can contact eRacks Open Source Systems and we can help you out.

∙ 7y agoFirst the obvious, make sure that the charger is plugged into a live outlet. Don't mean to berate but I once made a 300 mile service call to a far away remote place and found that the unit was unplugged.
Secondly, the charger unit itself may be faulty. Charging units do wear out eventually and don't last forever.
Thirdly, make sure that the batteries can be recharged. Rechargeable batteries also have a shelf life and after so many years of charge and discharge, they will finally stop accepting any charge.
If you have a digital voltmeter, check the output of the charger which will tell you straight away if that is the problem. If you don't have a digital voltmeter, you can still check it but will have to pay attention to polarity issues (positive vs negative terminals).

If an American ds lite is plugged in in china will only the charger be ruined or will the ds also be ruined?
Well, I am in China and plugged my DS lite that I bought in America. I also bought a DS charger here in China (and I also have my own charger that came with the DS lite). I don't know if the chargers are broken or not (because I'm having problems charging my DS) but.... Answer: My DS lite is still turning on but I have yet to see if the chargers are broken since I can not charge my DS. So, no, not both are ruined.

Why does my iPhone battery drain when the charger's in?
This can be due to the charger being faulty or not being official, 3rd party chargers often don't provide the recommended power and so take longer to charge the phone. It can also be due to you using the phone while it's on charge, as this can still drain the battery.

What happenens when your chargers or any charger would not charge you device?
1.Since it happened to me its because someone bending the charger you use then it effects how it charges 2. If you want to charge it you might have to bend it but if you are poor and barely have any chargers wait for the furture to have money to fix or if you wanana risk it you can bend it to see if will charge 3. I only know if it happnes to a ipad but same for iphone or phone and im still not sure about the compter 4 last thing. have a good day if you did not get the iformation you wanted you can look it up.

Either early 70's or 1969. The correct answer is 1961 (whoever posted above should check the team website). Owned by Barron Hilton. BTW, a "Charger" refers to a knight's horse (still the team's formal mascot) not electricity.
Is a generic cell phone car charger from Japan as good as a brand-name?
Yes, as long as a charger has the correct plug type and provides the correct voltage and current (check your cell phones user manual) it should work. Many companies are manufacturing reliable thrid party chargers these days. Still, you should check the ebay sellers feedback rating and return policy before ordering.
