Laptop battery issue...need help!!!?

Either the connector on the laptop took a jolt, and is broken (expensive to fix), or the wire in the charging cord got broken (easier to replace charger).

See if you can get someone to measure the voltage on the charger plug, to see if it is still sending a voltage. If so, then it's more likely the laptop jack that is broken. Many older laptops require almost complete dis-assembly to get to the power jack on the motherboard - about a 2 hour job for most competent techs...

Common situation! In Most cases unless your technically inclined todo it yourself you will need to goto a repair shop. The power jack itself has probably seperated from the motherboard, simply re-soldering these connections should solve the problem assuming nothing shorted during the inital accident. should not be expensive either get several quotes before choosing someone for the repairs dont let them charge you 300 dollars for something that takes 1/2 hour 45 minutes to fix, unless you know someone personally u can take it to that you trust! Oh and definately check the jack on the power supply some have a tiny pin in the center of the connector such as Macintosh if thats damaged replace the power supply, and check the voltage to make sure u have power! If ur supply does have this tiny pin however "Dont" try to test it yourself.. Ive gotten way to many clients shorting out a good power supply trying to test them!

Having jsut been by this with my previous workstation, I advise you purchase a clean one, i bought a alternative battery, and it lasted longer for a pair months yet then quickly lost its ability to hold a fee, it now not quotes up in any respect. This befell over ~3 months. this may be an particularly undesirable occasion, yet its additionally proper. a clean workstation will final you longer and specific preform extra useful, in spite of the incontrovertible fact that it's going to be slightly extra costly. in spite of the incontrovertible fact that, there is no could desire to throw away your previous workstation, it is going to nonetheless function completely with no battery see you later as that's plugged in.

okay what happened is the thing the connector attach's to is broke or very loose your either going to have to replace it or upgrade and since your saying its a older one there wouldnt be any reason trying to replace it..

yeah it's probably the connection
