Plugged in, light's on, but the battery won't move past 0%? It could be the adapter, the port, or the battery itself — we'll tell you which in minutes.
A laptop that won't charge is one of the most common issues we see. Most of the time it's a simple fix — a worn charging port or a dead battery — not a motherboard problem.
Free basic diagnosis. Testing charges may apply for deep analysis. You approve the cost before we touch anything.
Notice any of these? Bring it in — we'll check it for free and tell you exactly what's wrong.
Understanding the likely cause helps you decide whether it's a quick fix or something that needs a technician.
Constant plugging and unplugging loosens the DC jack over time — the most common cause we see.
A frayed cable or a dead adapter simply can't deliver power, even if everything inside the laptop is fine.
Batteries degrade with age and charge cycles. After 2-3 years, some just stop holding or accepting charge.
On the motherboard, a damaged charging IC can block power from reaching the battery — needs chip-level repair.
Try these first — they're safe, take a few minutes, and sometimes solve the problem without a repair visit.
Rules out a faulty wall socket or a damaged charging cable in under a minute.
Look for bent pins, dust, or a loose-fitting connector — gently, without forcing anything.
On laptops with a removable battery, take it out, wait 30 seconds, and put it back in.
Sometimes it's a software glitch, not a hardware fault — a fresh restart clears it.
If you smell burning, see the adapter or port sparking, or notice swelling near the battery, stop using the laptop immediately and bring it in — don't attempt any further checks.
We test the adapter, port, and battery separately to find the exact fault before quoting anything.

We can only tell for sure after testing — a dying battery and a faulty port show very similar symptoms. Our diagnosis (free) tells you exactly which one it is.
Often yes, if the port and adapter are working — many people use their laptop straight off the adapter until the battery is replaced. We'll confirm if this is safe for your specific case.
It depends on the model and whether it's a simple port swap or a motherboard-level fix. We give you the exact cost after diagnosis, before any work starts.
