Hp Laptop Won't Charge

My Hp Laptop charger hasn't been working properly for a while and I identified the problem as the wire being bent. When the wire is moved around a bit it would work but a few days ago it wouldn't work at all. Now I have poceeded to buy a new replacement one which clearly stated that it was compatible with my laptop and when it arrived sure enough it worked. But only after about 30 minutes charging it stopped and now it wont charge at all. Does anyone know what the problem may be because it deffinately isn't because of a dodgy wire like it was with the first charger. Any answers would be much appreciated.

SHOULD CUT THE WIRE AND SPLICE THEM TOGETHER
UNLESS THE BENT END IS AL THE ENT OF A POWER CHARGER, YOU COULD STRIP THE WIRE, TENT THEN ENDS AND SOLDER THEM TOGETHER

Hp laptop charger 90w 463955-001 burned component

Adapter arrived promptly, but did not have a "dongle." Seemed to work well for about 6 months but then did not charge laptop battery and only worked plugged in. Eventually a computer technician friend pointed out the adapter was too light to be real - compared my original adapter it weighs about half the weight. Not very impressed and would not recommend. I have no complaints about this item whatsoever, for all intents and purposes it does everything my original AC adaptor did.

The first thing to check is for proper power. Try connecting your charger with the battery removed and powering up the computer. If you are not successful with this, it may be that the charger is defective and not charging your battery.
Advise that you purchase/borrow a supported laptop charger. A local HP repair center should have a compatible charger that you could use to test.
If it is not the charger (the laptop should work without a battery), then you have motherboard problems. Memory or other issues would cause a power on but errors. No power up at all is going to require some sort of board replacement.
At that point, your choice is warranty repair service or, if out of warranty, best bet will be replacement of laptop.

Gateway laptop Model No. NEW95 won't charge

If the main battery is not charging properly and you state the charger and battery are fine, then there is only one possibility, the charge circuits on the motherboard are defective, this is a very rare situation and I have seen it once in all the years of service, make sure the battery is not the problem because in most cases it is.

My laptop wont turn on

Well, it's either AC or DC.
If the AC charger has failed, then the battery hasn't been charged and the PC just won't come on. I would go to a box store or a PC Repair shop and tell them you want to try a charger and if it will turn the PC on agree to buy it.
You can save money on the internet but it's a hassle sending stuff back with gas at $3.30 a gallon.

Let me know how it turns out.

It wont charge im holding it right nw hoping it wont shut down help fast

If your laptop won't hold a charge and you need to hod the connection in order for it to stay on, you may have a power jack issue. The power jack on the laptop may have been moved around from moving the laptop while connected or wiggling around the connection, and needs to be re-soldered back on the motherboard.

Also, just before taking that step, try using a different or brand new charger. Sometimes the pin inside a charger might be bent or broken, therefore not making a proper connection with the power jack.

Hope this helps.

If left unplugged fro the laptop for a few hours, or if the charger itself is moved from room to room, occasionally we get an issue where the green light that indicates power does not show up at all. The...

If light you are talking about is on the power supply itself, you need to replace the power supply. Look on E-Bay.

If the light you are talking about is the AC power light on the laptop, then there are two things that are most likely. First is the power receptacle in the laptop. I have personally seen many of these fail. The other thing is the battery. With the system Off, and power supply disconnected, remove the battery. Wait a couple of minutes and put back in and plug in charger. If it continues to happen then it is most likely the power receptacle in the laptop.

Best of luck, Jim

Seems that something must have bent the connector inside the laptop itself. If you are knowledgeable enough you could see for yourself but I would take it to someone for an estimate to see if it's worth your time and trouble having it worked on at that level.

Works great on battery but will not charge or work on the Power Supply. The power supply is good. Problem seems to be the transistor in the charging circuit.

I had the same problem
eventualy the end fell off
i had a look at it and it turns out that the connector, after general use, snaps inside because the connection between the main wire and the connector got bent when i charged my laptop
i am now on my third charger and even that is dodgy
