Packard Bell Easynote Charger gets very hot at end

it needs a new battery.
#1 failure items is that. on all laptops and CELL and TABlets.
not dropped hit or drowned. bingo #1

Try to use other Power addapter with same voltage and connector.

If you already have replaced your battery then you might need a new charger which is not charging your any battery at all.

On most PC's it is an indication that the battery is dead and getting ready to shut down the pc. Thus, may answer why it wont turn on. If it has some age on it MY guess is the battery pack has failed and won't accept a charge. If the charger is good, remove the battery and plug in the charger and see if it will turn on. Some PC's require a battery to operate. You may be lucky. Battery packs are available at placed like Amazon and Ebay and Yahoo.

try a new charger cord

it is not charged or its battery has a loose connection

cud be your onboard voltage regulator for the battery charging. if you remove the battery and use the external power source does it smell also?
if the battery charges normal out of the unit, and the laptop works well with the AC power unit without the battery, then it's your voltage regulator for the batt charging

If you can charge your battery in another notebook than borrow that notebooks power adapter & try it on your notebook with & without your battery in your notebook. Your power adapter may be devfective. Listed below is a link to your notebook. Included is all the updates for the,
