If you have discovered a problem where your laptop does not charge properly or worse, the battery has died and you can no longer turn your laptop on, does this mean the end for your laptop? Fortunately not because there are things you can do to get the laptop working again. Essentially there is a problem getting the power from
the mains supply to the laptop. This can be caused by either the Compaq Laptop Charger or the DC Socket inside the laptop. If you have a niggling problem somewhere along this chain then the electricity will not successfully reach the
laptop.
Any competent repair store can tell you which part of the chain is the problem within seconds. Maybe you could simply try another charger on your laptop to see if that powers it. If so a replacement Laptop Adapter is the cure. If the same problem
exists with other adapters then it could well be a laptop fault. We would not recommend you try to do this repair at home as the repair involves removing the faulty DC Socket and re-soldering a replacement part back on. Any damage to the motherboard can leave you with an irreparable laptop that will only be fit for the
scrap heap. With a brand new DC socket the power will be able to flow to the motherboard as it was designed to and the battery will receive the charge it needs.

When a laptop is experiencing charging problems, does it need a repair? Sometimes the problem is more than simply needing a new Laptop Charger. A very common issue can be with the DC Socket, this is where the laptop charger pin connects to the
laptop. Most of these are soldered inside on four or five small pins. If you trip over the cable and jerk the charger out of this hole then you could break one or more of these connections.
In these instances the socket may appear to be loose and may move around. Most people will not be able to strip the laptop down, get the correct DC Socket and then be able to solder it back in place so to avoid damaging the laptop further, we always advise the machine is taken to a Laptop Repair Store for the experts to deal with. With the laptop now mended you should see the socket is now firmly secured and the charger fits nicely giving your laptop a full battery charge.

Common queries from our customers include why is their laptop not charging or why when they plug their charger in do they need to wiggle the tip in the socket to get a good connection. Although it is probably easier to get a replacement HP Charger
to kick off your search to cure your laptops charging problems, this is not always the answer.
If you plug your Laptop Charger in but nothing happens it could either be the charger or the laptop that is experiencing difficulty. Usually when the light is showing on the HP Compaq NX8220 Charger this indicates the charger is OK. Turn your attention now to the charging socket on the laptop. If this seems to be loose it could indicate damage to the ‘pins’ holding it to the motherboard. .
Again, if you need to wiggle the charger to get a proper connection there could be a fault with the socket inside the laptop or perhaps a fault in the wire on the laptop charger. As you can see it is not always so easy to find out what faults you are experiencing causing your charging problems but should you ever need a new
HP Compaq Charger, Laptop Power UK is the best place to source one. For any additional queries or assistance either email us or call us on 0845 257 7745. We are
always happy to help.

Within the HP Compaq Adapter range are a whole myriad of different laptops and with that a range of different Laptop Adapters. Each provides very
specific power to your laptop. For instance you can buy 65W chargers, 90W chargers or 120W chargers. But do not just go for the highest powered thinking this might charge your laptop battery quicker. If you use an overpowered laptop charger you could risk burning out some vital parts on the laptop motherboard – the electrics
within the laptop.
The result of this could be a costly repair which will leave you unnecessarily out of pocket. Too much power is not a good thing and so is too little. We decided to take the hard work out of your hands and researched each and every model of laptop listed on our website to find the right Compaq NC Series Charger.
