Your laptop’s power cord can be the bane of your existence. Your laptop charger is normally one of the first laptop parts to break and, if you’re unlucky or particularly clumsy, it could keep on doing so. Why do laptop chargers break so often and how you can stop these laptop parts from going wrong?Although they seem like a pretty basic bits of kit that serve one, basic purpose, power cords have an awful lot of weaknesses and points at which they can go wrong. The reason your damn power adapter keeps on cutting out could be thanks to one of the following issues:
• A problem with your power cord’s ‘brick’ laptop parts: Power cables have laptop parts called ‘bricks’. These are the little black boxes that sit along your power cable between the plug socket and your other laptop parts. If the little light on your brick’s laptop parts isn’t lit, the problem with your cable is probably in the brick. It may be quite bulky but the brick is full of lots of little, delicate laptop parts so, if you drop it, or inadvertently stomp on it, it could break the whole power cord.
• Computer issues: Sometimes the problem with your adapter is its connection into your laptop parts. The bit of your laptop that your power cord plugs into is notoriously weak and, because it is soldered straight onto the motherboard, it can break really easily. The classic sign that your power cable is not powering your laptop bparts because of of this kid of problem is that it works now and again, but only if you wiggle it in a really specific way…This issue is infuriating but easily and quickly fixable. Your local PC repair guy should be able to help in about 10 minutes!• Cord problems: A problem with the cord itself is also likely, especially if you have rolled over your delicate laptop parts in a wheelie chair or left the power cord at a funny angle for a long time. If this happens your power cable can ‘crimp’ which breaks the conductors inside, stopping the power making it from the plug to your laptop parts. This kind of repair work is much trickier and should only be carried out by someone who knows their way around laptop parts since cord crimps can be really hazard and could give you a dangerous electrical shock.Unless you absolutely know what you are doing, never attempt to fix any laptop parts yourself, including your power cable.
