Laptop Charger Not Working? 5 Things to Check Before You Replace It

Laptop Charger Not Working? Here’s What You Should Check First

If your laptop charger is not working, or your laptop shows “plugged in but not charging”, don’t rush to replace your device yet.
This is a very common issue in Malaysia, and in many cases, the problem is caused by the charger, cable, or battery.

Before replacing anything, here are 5 things you should check first:

🔍 1. Check the Power Cable

Make sure:

• Plug is properly connected
• Power socket is working
• No visible damage on the cable

A loose or damaged cable is one of the most common causes of charging issues.

🔍 2. Inspect the Charger Adapter

Check if your adapter:

• Is overheating
• Has no indicator light
• Produces unusual noise

If yes, your charger may be faulty and needs replacement.

🔍 3. Check Your Laptop Charging Port

Sometimes the issue is not the charger but the laptop itself:

• Dust inside the port
• Loose charging pin
• Worn-out connector

Try cleaning the port or testing with another charger.

🔍 4. Battery Condition

If your laptop shows:
👉 “Plugged in, not charging”

This usually means your battery is already weak or damaged and may need replacement.

🔍 5. Using the Wrong Charger

Using incorrect or non-original charger can cause:

• Slow charging
• No charging
• Long-term damage to your laptop

Always use the correct and genuine adapter for your laptop model.
