Article 10 LT wont charge

1. Verify the power outlet and power strip

Try a different outlet to rule out electrical problems.

2. Inspect the charger

Check for:

Bent connectors
Frayed cables
Loose connections

3. Make sure the charger matches your laptop

Wrong wattage = slow charging or no charging.

4. Clean the charging port

Dust and lint inside the port prevent proper contact.

5. Check battery health

Windows → Power & Battery settings
Mac → System Information → Battery

6. Reset the power controller

Windows laptops: remove battery (if possible), hold power button 10 sec
Macs: try SMC Reset

7. Test with another charger

If another charger works, yours is defective.

If your laptop still won’t charge, we can run diagnostics and recommend the right repair or replacement.
