I use my laptop everyday I the past 2 years never had a problem. All of a sudden when I onnected my charge to my laptop for some reason I noticed the orange light did not turn on when the charger was connected. I didn't think anything of it until my battery was dieing. I tried various electrical outlets and nothing still does not charge and orange light stays off. I tried another power supply and light still stays off and never charges. Any suggestions? Should I just send it in? It's still under warranty.
If it's still under warranty I would send it in. My friend had that dead charger with an HP laptop, and they replaced it for free. And chargers sometimes die, especially after constant use.
But besides potentially getting free charger replacement, there's another more serious reason to send it in. If it turns out the charger isn't broken, it could be your laptop. It isn't uncommon for laptops DC power jacks (where the power cord plugs into) to become damaged. This is very serious because if you keep attempting to charge it when the jack is damaged the motherboard can be damaged. Fixing the jack is not as bad/expensive as getting a whole new motherboard.
Hope this helps!
