Maybole Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I cannot find an exact answe ron this forum. My HP Pavillion laptop stopped charging. I bought it second-hand about a year ago and it came with a new replacement charger. The repair shop insists that the charger had damaged the computer's charging circuit and that I should buy a new HP one. I have seen many chargers and they all show a very similar output of 19v and approx 2.5 amps. The only difference I can see is in the jack plug. I am suspicious of the repair shop's advice and would like opinion(s) from knowlageable members . Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Have you tried another charger to verify that the machine itself has been damaged and it's not just a dead charger? Take the machine to one of the many places that sell chargers, ask them to test a charger on the condition that if it charges you will buy the charger.

carlyai Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Seems that the universal general purpose chargers are 19V. My laptop is 12v.Just saying check what voltage your charger should be. My laptop worked on a replacement 19V charger for a while. Bit red faced when I took the failed laptop to the Acer fault centre and they informed me that the laptop probably failed because I had a 19 V and not 12 V charger.
