    Hi, i have a rather annoying problem with my SVS1511L3ES,

    Around a week ago, the laptop started charging unusually slow but still i had good performance out of the laptop but it got worse and now the laptop won't charge at all when it's on.

    A terrible side effect of this is that the laptop can't draw enough power at 0% to drive my gpu (gt640m le).
    This means that the laptop automatically switches to the integrated graphics which aren't very good for games.

    I'm wondering if the cause can be any other component other than my charger, because my battery seems fine, still can hold a charge after 3 days of charging to get 100% , only the charger just charges very slow.

    Anybody have any experience with this?

    There are universal chargers available in most computer shops. Take your laptop there and find something that works. If it doesn't work, don't buy.
