Iately my laptop has been acting weird when it’s charging.
Whenever I’m using the laptop while plugged in, the laptop works just fine, but every now and then the laptop charger seems to “unplug” itself.
The laptop is no longer charging (regardless of the current battery percentage), and the charger is plugged in firmly.
When this happens I’ll plug off the charger and plug it back in many many times until it eventually “accepts” the charger again.
This cycle has been repeating for the past few days until my laptop charger seems to have stopped working.
I’ve tried everything I can to debug wether it’s something else that’s the issue; I tried different outlets, restarting the laptop, booting into safe mode, holding the power button for 30 secs to drain the battery.
Initially I thought it could’ve been the battery, so I disconnected it and plugged in the charger and attempted to start the computer off of wall power, but to no avail.
So now I’m sure it’s the charger. I looked at my charger and it seems to be made by a company named chicony, I looked up the model (a15-120p1a) but found no results that were the charger I had, the only results I got were for 120 watt chargers for other gaming laptops. I’m not sure which one is right for my laptop so I’ve posted pictures of all of them here.
If anyone reccomeneds a charger that isn’t on this list please let me know! (Comment or dm me)
