When You Need Laptop Not Charging

Not sure it is the laptop that is at fault? Bring it in and we test it for free before we recommend anything.

Plugged in, not charging

The light is on but the battery stays flat, or Windows says plugged in, not charging. The charger, battery or port can cause this.

Only charges when you hold the cable

A cable that works only at one angle usually means the charging port has come loose or worn.

Charger gets hot or has no light

A charger that is warm to the touch with a dead light, or a frayed cable, is the first thing to replace.

Works only on the charger

If the laptop runs while plugged in but dies as soon as you unplug it, the battery is the usual cause.
