My Laptop is Having a Serious Issue
4 years ago
Before I begin, update on the YouTube thing (see my journal titled "Well guess what I found last night?")- nothing.
I've been googling for a while about this problem, but I can't find an answer. I plan on taking my laptop to a shop soon to see what's going on.
Basically, because my laptop dies as fast as a two year old phone, I keep it plugged in whenever I'm using it (which I now know is very unhealthy), but it continued to charge to around 90 at which I would unplug it. Also, because I can't take my laptop anywhere else in the house (long explanation that I'm too tired to go through), I use it at the dining room table, and the cord runs across where my dogs run through to go outside. One day my dad forgot to warn me before letting my crazier one out, and she ran through the cord, it got yanked out, and my laptop went flying and hit the floor. Here's a list of things it's been experiencing since the event.
-There was no visible damage to the cord or the charging port on my laptop.
-The main issue is that when I plug it in, now, my laptop registers the charger like normal. However, the estimated time until it charges to 100% won't stop increasing and my laptop actually won't stop dying rather than charging.
-Occasionally when I plug it in I hear a "static" sound coming from my laptop.
-If I plug it in when my laptop is below 50% battery, the problem persists and it won't stop dying, no matter how much I unplug and replug it, it actually drastically increases the charging time instead.
-Even if it's off (and when it died a couple days ago because of this), when I plug it up my laptop doesn't charge at all, so the battery is still sitting below 60 when I turn it back on.
-I can pull the cord out of the port a lot easier than before this event. It actually feels somewhat loose inside the port.
I'm pretty sure that's all the info I can provide. I hope one of you guys can tell me what's going on.
See ya,

POSTING NEWS: I haven't been drawing much fart stuff lately but I'll get something up. It'll probably be something normal though.

There’s a chance that the charger has internal damage that you are unable to see. If that’s the case, getting a new one should fix the issue.
