    the charger is having some problems and i am not sure how to fix this or if there is a fix for this....

    the wire that plugs into the laptop is having problems. some times it connects and it charges the battey. sometimes it plugs in and it is not detected and the computer is not charging.

    i found a temp fix by moving the wire a bit and it seems to work, but once i move the laptop it stops working again. and most recently i cant even get it to work at all. is there a way to fix this?

    thanks!

    Wire is probably broken inside from excess movement. You can either buy a new one or try re-terminate the plug if you know where break is.

    Make sure its not the power jack thats broken.

    i tried with another charger and it works. but i cant "use" it becuase its my brothers and he needs it for his laptop. so i know its not the power jack connected to the computer

    i have no clue where the "break" is. now i try to mess with the wire and it doesnt even work anymore. i think i will get one of those laptop chargers i see on ebay
