Laptop charger broke

    K now I'm posting from my itouch but my laptop was charging fine and then it stopped charging so I wiggled the cord around it. Charged but then, as usual, it overheated and shut off so I watch what my bro is doing on his laptop for awhile then I start up my laptop and I have to wiggle it alot more to get it to charge, then it overheats and shuts off and I start it up again and I have to hold the cord down to get it to charge and then it totally stops charging and wiggling it doesn't work so I just let it run and now I am sitting next to it typing with my iPod and my laptop won't turn on at all. Any suggestions?

    There is no other thing that you can do except buying a new charger. Or you can change it for a new one if your laptop is still under a warranty.

    I think you have to check laptop. Are you sure the charger is broken.? I dont its the charger coz you said that you have to wiggle it alot the it charged, so i think the charger is fine. Check the battery.

    Buy a cheap extension cable with the same tip size (usually about $5), then cut the old tip off your charger (mid cable - not right at the end) and solder the new one on.

    It would help if you can tell what barnd of laptop your using. I dunno where your living but under standard company warranty, accessories are not included in warranty. And to be exact, the charger falls under the accessory category.

    I have a Hp laptop and its charger broke. So I got a new one from a nearby store and ordered a new one for only 11.00 U.S.D. off of ebay. The sotre has a 30 day return policy, i guess you know the rest... It is cheap from ebay because it is coming from china. And I think this should be best suited for you since you said you are buying a MAC soon.

    I asked for the brand name because every brand uses a different type of charger, well most do I think. And for the HP laptop I have, the charger has two portions. One part of cord goes to the electricity and the other part is attached to the laptop. And then these two parts are attached to each other to make things work. So if you broke the part which goes in the electricity then drop by any cheap electricity store and buy that cable. For me to be exact, the laptop cable which goes in the electricity is the same cable which is used as a power cable for any Desktop PC. It is the cable which goes from your PC tower to your electricity plug.
