| Jul 9, 2022 at 11:33 | comment | added | stz184 | I have the same issue. My laptop supports charging both by DC jack and USB-C. When USB-C is used, everything is fine, with no charging interruptions, but when it's connected to the DC jack it stops charging randomly for a few seconds, without moving the cable or the computer itself. Tried wriggling the DC cable in order to reproduce the issue but without luck - it happens completely random and it cannot be reproduced by wriggling the cable or moving the jack. | |

| Jan 6, 2016 at 18:00 | comment | added | Z0q | @Jonno: I wonder if I should replace the DC Jack or the adapter. It looks like the DC Jack should be pretty easy to fix if it is not soldered. The battery is an unofficial one by the way, but it works fine. I think it would be strange if it would not work only sometimes. If it is intelligent to know that it is unofficial, it would not charge at all, right? P.S.: If it is not charging, it does also not boot the laptop without battery. So I think it does not have anything to do with the battery! | |

As such, these types can be more prone to movement, usually only up and down though. The fact that the lights on the laptop change when it stops charging makes me thing it's something to do with the power circuitry, or possibly a fault with the power adapter which may have a certain 'intelligence' to detect it's genuine. | |
| Jan 6, 2016 at 17:33 | comment | added | Some Dude | @Z0q If battery is new and cable is tested, the next likely thing is the port on the laptop. If it is spacious (wiggles) could be a sign of failure. The easiest way to test this is by using another charger. | |
