PLEASE HELP!!!!!! I need help to do with laptops!!!!!!!!?
okay, my laptop has broken. There's nothing wrong with the actual inside of the laptop its the socket at the back of the laptop where the charger would plug into... the battery will not charge, I need to charge the battery somehow.. an idea of mine was taking the battery to somewhere or someone that could charge it then that would give me some time to transfer my files onto a usb... before I return the laptop it is deadly serious that I get those files... just returning the laptop is not an option until I get those files.... this question is just for to ask if anyone knows where I could charge my laptop...
******the laptop I own is an MEDION ERAZER X6811*******
I know people are saying I can open the laptop up, but I actually cant.. the reason why is more than likely I wont get a refund when I return it and they see I have tampered with it... =/

So, you're going to RMA the laptop to the manufacturer to get the jack replaced, but want to save your data first.
In that case, just pull out the laptop's hard drive and plug it into any desktop PC; the connections are identical. From there you can access the drive like a removable disk -- just drag and drop your files onto another drive in Windows until your laptop is fixed. Alternatively, you may buy a SATA to USB hard drive adapter at most computer hardware stores and use your laptop's drive as an external disk in another PC to accomplish the same thing.

go to an electronic store and get an adaptor that will allow you to connect your laptop hard drive into a regular PC via the SATA interface, transfer your files and put the HDD back into the laptop before you send it to repair. I suggest you bring the laptop hard drive to the store to make sure you get the right connector -sata is easy to identify but is your laptop hard drive IDE, SATA, PATA, this is what you have to know and the reason why it is better to bring it

You should try to plug the charger to your laptop without insert the battery.then start your laptop it will be start up because there is no need of battery if your laptop is connected to the power plug.
hope you will be satisfied with this solution.
