If the charger is on and then turns off when you plug it into the laptop. There might be a short or overload occurring and the charger circuits are cutting out as a precaution? | |

| Dec 15, 2015 at 21:54 | comment | added | Suresh | @BigChris: Same problem with another charger also. I try explain again whats happening is: 1. I insert the charger in the plug the green light on the charger is on-- indicates supply to charger is there. 2. Then I connect charger to the laptop -- the charging indicator light on laptop is not on and the charger LED which is on previously is turning off.. It happens the same with another charger(complete set). The wall plug port is woking fine, as I tried to charge mobile it is working. | |

| Dec 15, 2015 at 14:12 | comment | added | Kinnectus | OK, not a problem. When you say you tried another charger, did you try a completely different charge (mains cable AND charger/PSU unit)? From your question, the charger unit has an LED that is also not lighting up? Does this do the same with the other charger you tried? Are they both tested working with a voltmeter - your title says it works, but your question body isn't clear - does it initially turn on and then off? Finally, have you tried wiggling the charger connector in the laptop to see if the on-board connector isn't faulty? | |

| Dec 15, 2015 at 5:34 | comment | added | Kinnectus | Still contact the laptop warranty people and, although it expired a few days back, argue that you would expect it to work for considerably longer than a year. I have a 7 year old laptop that works just as well as it did the day I bought it. Come up with other examples of technology you have that's older than a year and see if they'll still accept it for repair. | |
