    Faulty charger,only guessing here but probably has a manufacturer defect within the power brick.

    would you suggest i look into getting a new charger. If the problem does not exist if it is removed, then that means the charger is at fault. :D

    You can use the power lead cable from the old charger if you still have it.

    dont want to buy another 25 quid is alota money atm

    i am now trying this
    was told buy the seller this might fix it

    Battery Tip:
    Adjust your laptop battery in order to achieve optimum performance.
    Laptop battery has built-in microprocessor software, it can calculate the remaining capacity of a battery when it is charging or discharging. Battery needs to be adjusted from time to time to ensure that the screen displays the time and percentage is correct. You should implement a full charge and discharge operation at its first use, and thereafter every 2 or 3 months once the operation as follows,
    1. First of the "Power" option setting: Right-click on a blank screen, then select "Properties" → "Screen Saver" → "Power" → "Power Schemes" → "Portable / Laptop". Then, select "Never" for all the options of the “Battery Schemes", and for the "Warning" options, don't choose "Low Batter alarm" or "serious shortage of battery alarm".

    2. Disconnect the AC adapter and use your laptop until it itself shuts down. In this situation, the battery is fully discharged.

    3. Connect the AC adapter and your battery should start charging. Charge until the battery is full. Repeat this charge and discharge cycle 3-4 times and your battery pack will be conditioned to perform at full capacity. The process of charging takes at least 5 hours or more.

    Note: When your battery is adjusted to achieve optimum performance, please set your computer's power options to their default values?? to ensure that your computer can send the correct warning signal. Such as: low battery alarm or alarm before sleep and so on.

    this sould do the trick you think ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,692 ✭✭✭Jarren


    You always will have to take a risk with generic chargers to be honest .

    Having said I only bought generic ones in the past and never had issues with them.

    Let us know how you got on with the new puppy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,088 ✭✭✭JAMES VTI S


    i will do :)

    anyone know what the problem is ??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,474 ✭✭✭TheChizler


    You try properly grounding the laptop when it's charging yet? For example finding some exposed metal part of the frame and connecting it to a pipe/earth pin?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,088 ✭✭✭JAMES VTI S


    no i have a hum when i hook up a dj mixer to it sounds like a bad earth :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 85,053 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    i will do :)

    anyone know what the problem is ??
    Had this before. Definitely the charger. Replace it.

    If you have a pair of ac powered speakers plug these in to the same surge protector as the harder and turn the volume up. You should be able to hear all the electrical noise it's putting off.

    In my case the electrical contacts I the headphone jak also shocked me and the trackpad physically vibrated just enough that you could feel it buzzing
