Laptop doesn't recognise charger

    I have an emachines e525 laptop. I've had it for two years and it has worked grand but it has suddenly stopped recognising the charger. It will work fine using the battery so there's no problem there but when I take out the battery and try to use it using just the charger cable (which is what I normally do because I mostly use it at home) it won't turn on at all and it won't charge the battery.

    The light on the charger turns on like normal when it's plugged in. Could the socket on the laptop that the charger plugs into be the problem? Just looking for a way to fix this that won't cost a ton of money, any help appreciated.

    If it makes any difference the make of the charger is delta electronics n17908 as far as I can tell from the label on it.

    Chargers can burn out. Even original chargers can die a death. I would suggest trying another charger. Look under your laptop for the amount of current (amps) that it needs. It may say 4.2A, which is quite high so not every charger can push that much out. There are cheap universal chargers out there that can only do 3A. The most pressure you can put on a charger is when your laptop is powered on AND charging the battery at the same time.
