My laptop won’t charge! (possibly faulty power jack)
Discussed below are the possible common problems and solutions when your laptop won’t charge. The most common problem with laptops charging is by far a faulty laptop power jack. When your laptop power jack is damaged, your laptop doesn’t receive power which means you’ll be running on battery power until it is depleted.
If you unplug the battery and plug the power cord in, does the laptop power on?
If YES: You most likely have a faulty battery, replace it!
If NO: Your laptop isn’t receiving sufficient power – or possibly any at all!
If you have another power adapter (or one from another laptop with the same voltage), try connecting it. Does the laptop power on now?
If YES: Your power adapter is faulty, replace it!
If NO: Looks like your power jack is damaged, you’ll need to get it repaired! There are many laptop power jack repair services out there, and a repair can typically cost anywhere between $50 and $150. You can also repair your laptop’s power jack yourself.
