Gaming My laptop charger is broken. FML

So yeah my laptop charger is broken..its probably because the cord to the head is almost ripped off...anyway I can fix it?

you can try to connect all the wires back together with electrical tape (each one separately)

If I were you, I'd rather buy a new one. I dunno how many wires there are in a charger cord but you might connect the wrong wire and that can't be good.

Almost ripped off? when my laptop charger stopped working i just changed the fuse, i always kept it on so if you do just try that.

ive never repaired a charger cord, but im guessing all the wires are fairly large, and have multiple colors so its obvious which ones go where?

best way to do it is with a soldering iron and some heatshrink... but if you arent cool with that sort of thing just buy a new one...

Thanks, that helped. I got it working again.

You can grab chargers fairly heap nowdays from amazon on ebay, even eletrical stores do a universal one now. I wouldnt fuck about with the charger too much cos it could fuck the laptop battery, im on my 3rd laptop charger in 2 years. 2nd screen and 3rd keyboard too....i need to be more careful
