Laptop Power Cord Toshiba M305
I am having charging problems with my Toshiba laptop?
My Satellite M305-S4822 works out fine until yesterday morning. I always have to push the cord of my adapter really hard to the power port of the laptop for it to charge. Once I let go, it stops charging. What could be the problem?
Laptops are subjected to plenty of hard use, & one item that often gets damaged is the charger (or adapter) cord. This has been especially true for my 2 Toshibas.
The constant bending, plug & un-plug actions, and other stresses, causes the copper wires inside the cord to become "work hardened" which makes them brittle and eventually snapping, which leads to power loss to the lapper.
For new units, and replacement chargers, one thing I do right away is reinforce the cable end where it plugs into the lapper.
The idea is to make them less flexible & can be done with a couple of methods.
1) Use a hot glue gun and apply glue from as near the tip connector as possible, down the length of the cord 3-5 inches, building up the glue to twice the thickness of the original cord diameter;
OR
2) Use a semi-flexible, heavy tape (like cloth athletic tape or similar) & wind around the cord; again to about double the original cord thickness.
Both methods restrict the movement and stress on the internal wires, extending the usable life of the cord considerably.
Always un-plug the cord using the terminal itself; don't pull on the cord.
New OEM's are a bit pricey; I got an "i Go Juice" from radio shack, same money but works on several devices, in the car, etc. Pretty handy.
