I have a toshiba laptop, pretty new, had it sence december of last year, but recently [like yesterday] I woke up to notice my charger wasn't working. I thought is was the box thing or it wasn't plugged in when it suddenly told me my computer wasn't charging.
I checked and noticed the jack was not working, I fiddled with it for a while and got it to work but then it stopped agian, so the process went over and over again threw the whole day.
I saw diffrent things on line, send it back, go get it checked out, replace mother board, but I am not sure what to do, if anyone has any suggestions on what to do if they have had the same problem please help

I saw diffrent things on line, send it back, go get it checked out, replace mother board, but I am not sure what to do
At least get is checked is the first thing to be done. Go to the shop where you bought your laptop with your charger box, and ask them to check it. The charger box is the most fragile part in your computer, so it's the most probable device to fail, so check it first.

Every time I put my charger in my laptop for like 10 seconds it stops charging then I have to pull out the charger and put it back in again. It keeps stopping and annoying me and I don't know what to do??
I also changed the fuse to test it and it still does the same.
Do I need a new charger?
Answer To Fixing Lap Top Problem ,
Help, My Laptop Charger Is Not Working Properly
if your problem is this where u have to plug in the charger move it around and then the back of the plugging part where u charge it gets hot heres your answer. You Have to open you lap top and on your mother board I'm pretty sure will be the connector to the charger make sure that is plugged in nicely and then at the charger part when u open up your lap top Pull that Silver Line thing which your lap top charger connects into out A bit further so It Should get full power then . I Hope this helped even though its a bit late.

Can I use my older Ni-Cd batterycharger to charge my Ni-MH batteries?
Help, My Laptop Charger Is Not Working Properly
Can I use my older Ni-Cd battery charger to charge my Ni-MH batteries?
No, you can use a newer Ni-MH charger to charge your old Ni-Cd batteries but you should not try to charge Ni-MH batteries with a Ni-Cd charger.
Here's why:
Ni-MH and Ni-Cd batteries are chemically very similar and when both are fully charged the battery voltage will start to drop. The Ni-MH voltage drop is much more subtle and more difficult to detect. Ni-MH chargers usually have an over temperature sensor and shutoff to prevent to overcharge as well as a more sensitive voltage drop detector where Ni-Cd chargers usually only use the voltage drop to determine when to stop charging. If you charge Ni-MH batteries in a Ni-Cd charger it will probably miss the voltage drop and keep right on charging causing the batteries to overheat. Overcharging and overheating Ni-MH batteries can damage them internally and reduce battery life.

Help, My Laptop Charger Is Not Working Properly
I don't know what to do I'm only 14 my dad says thats it's probably because off I leave it on to charge to long.You see he says that the way I use it the charge adapter is to heavy so when I'm using the charger the port is forced to come down(PORT means the think you plug it to charge it.This causes the port to get lose if it get lose it can become on usable luckily you can send it to HP.But there's one thing you have to have purchase the warranty for the like year see me I have the warranty that comes for free which covers anything thats a a default defect and sorry my friend but it isn't a default defect.

My laptop isn't charging.

did not. It made sense, then i was to put the Radeon card in, start in safe mode and uninstall the

laptop users. Take a look on your CPU fan vent on your laptop (underneath). Spot lots of dust? Get
an air can and dust it out! All sides of the vent. Dust will cause heat to build more rapidly in the
CPU in laptops. Since the CPU is mobile and since its getting hot fast it will work with the
powersave in mind, lowering even more performance. After I got my laptop cleaned, it....
