This is something most laptop users in Nigeria ignore until it causes a very expensive problem.
A faulty charger port does not just stop your laptop from charging. It sends unstable voltage through your
entire system.
That unstable voltage can:
- Damage your battery cells permanently
- Fry your keyboard controller chip
- In serious cases, damage your motherboard
I had a customer last month whose keyboard stopped working completely. When I diagnosed it, the real
problem was a faulty DC jack that had been slowly destroying the keyboard controller for weeks.
Repair cost 30,000 Naira. Could have been 10,000 Naira if caught early.
How to test your charger port Wiggle the charger gently while plugged in. If charging cuts in and out, get it
checked immediately.
If your laptop has a charger port issue, bring it in. And if you need a properly tested laptop where all ports have been verified DM me.
