Laptop Not Charging, Loose DC Jack, Bad Battery

The DC Jack/Charging Port is very delicate component that can wear out over time and also often gets damaged very easily if the laptop is dropped while being plugged in or if the charging tip is inserted improperly or yanked out too hard, this can often damage the port inside which will prevent your Laptop or Chromebook from charging properly. Also laptop batteries don’t last forever, most batteries start to loose capacity after 2 years and many will need to be replaced after 3 or 4 years. Batteries can also suffer from swelling or expansion from overcharging or old age

What else can be causing my laptop not to charge?

There are many reasons why a Windows Laptop, Chromebook or Apple Macbook doesn’t charge the battery, anything from a damaged/defective charging port, to a faulty battery to a problem with the motherboard can be causing a charging problem. 

How can I extend life of my battery?

To extend the life of the battery it is recommended to run the laptop from battery power often, don’t keep it plugged in all the time as that can overcharge and swell/expend the battery, unplug the charger every few days and run it down then plug it back in to recharge, doing this often will extend the life of the battery.
