How to replace a Toshiba laptop power adapter

Is your Toshiba laptop power adapter giving you trouble? Find out how to analyse this problem and replace it with a new power adapter which will work perfectly!

How to analyse the problem

If the laptop is not being powered at all, you know that there is a problem with two things. The charger or the computer It is either going to be the charger, or it is going to be your computer. If you can obtain another charger, you want to make sure you plug it in to see if it is a computer problem or a charger problem. If you are not able to get another charger which is of the same brand, you should just order the charger if you do not have the knowledge to see if there is anything wrong with the computer adapter. Issues with the connector If the problem is with the computer, the connector is probably the issue. The first thing you should do if it is a connector issue is to wiggle it around to see if it is a small adjustment issue. If not, you will have to take it to a shop unless you are able to open it up yourself and analyse the problem. You should only do this if you know a lot about computers.

How to pick an adapter

There are a few things you want to look at if you are looking to buy an adapter. Pay attention closely as it is pretty important: 1. The shape of the adapter You want to make sure that the shape of the adapter is exactly as the ones you have at the moment. If it is not going to fit, then you will have to go through the hassle of reordering it. 2. You want to check if the voltage is same. The voltage must be same or else the power adapter is not going to function as needed. The voltage is important because if you do not have the right voltage, there is a good chance that you can damage the entire motherboard, and replacing or fixing that will cost a lot of money. You also want to check to amount of power, so keep that in mind when you purchase a new power adapter.
