Here are some of our top tips on how to fix laptop charging or power problems:

• Check the power source: Ensure that the wall socket you are using is working correctly.
  
  
• Inspect the power adapter: Examine the power adapter for any signs of damage, such as frayed cables or bent pins. If you notice any issues, replace the adapter with a compatible one from the laptop manufacturer.
  
  
• Verify the connection: Make sure the power adapter is securely connected to both the laptop and the power outlet. Sometimes, a loose connection can cause charging problems. Disconnect and reconnect the adapter to ensure a snug fit.
  
  
• Remove external devices: Disconnect any external devices, such as USB drives or peripherals, from your laptop. Sometimes, power issues can be caused by a device drawing excessive power or causing a conflict.
  
  
• Restart the laptop: A simple restart can often resolve power-related issues. Shut down your laptop completely, unplug the power adapter, wait for a few seconds, and then plug it back in. Turn on the laptop and check if the charging problem persists.
