So your laptop is not charging but will power from your charger, well the good news is that this is a problem you could fix yourself and we have written this short guide to help you diagnose and potentially fix the problem yourself. This can apply to most laptops.
First step is to unplug the charger and take a close look at the tip of your charger (the part that plugs into the laptop) inspect it for any signs of damage, that could be in the form of rust or a small bent pin in the centre of the tip or deformation (no longer round), also check where the cord goes into the tip for damage it could be badly kinked or partially cut. If you have found damage then it is time to purchase a new charger; we recommend to only buy genuine charger for that laptop not a generic after market charger because those are often going to make things worse.

Now before you go plugging your new charger into the laptop it is also recommend you inspect the port where it plugs into the laptop for any signs of damage because if the tip was damaged the port could be too. If the port is damaged then you will need to get your laptop into us for a port replacement. If the port looks undamaged then go ahead and plug in your new charger and see if that has fixed the problem.
