Repairing a laptop charger

Jan 21, 2007 3 Replies

Well, my first charger was broken down a short time ago and i bought a new one but it's also broken now. when i plug it, it doesn't work but when i shake it strongly then starts to work. I checked the power cable but it's ok, i also opened it and controlled all the soldered parts but no problem. Only a sizzling from condenser. Checking the web found that there might be a problem with SRC or condenser, i tried to solder anode and cathode of the SRC ( i thought no problem will accure) but there was a small explotion :( I checked the circuit there isn't much damage. What can i do now?



It would help if you gave us some information on the make and model of the computer and the charger input AC voltage and output voltage - AC or DC - and rated output current.

Nope, IME, the best place is from eBay. Buy an OEM replacement if the computer is more than a year or two old. Search on the model number to see the quantity available.

Watch out for low 'Buy It Now' price coupled with outrageous shipping.....
