Help! my charger is dead!

Well i got on my computer to today to find that my charger isn't working. This has happened to me before only when i leave my computer on all night. i know i did this 2 days before, but now it is working. Does anyone know how to fix this besides trashing this one and getting a new one?

Thanks!

My solutions:

Make sure its plugged into a power outlet, and the power is connected to the computor.

Make sure all connections to the charging box is connected.

Try taking the battery out, letting it out for an hour, and put it back in. (Unplug it first!!)

Use a compressed air duster to clean out the connection areas.

If all fails, try buying a new charger, as MP stated.

If you have one, try another charger and make sure the problem is with the charger and not the battery. Or buy a new charger, but you need to make sure you get the correct type of charger or you could damage your battery.

Laptop chargers aren't like laptops. If it's dead, theres really no way to fix it besides the ways stated above.

Buying a new one is the safest way. My old laptop charger almost caused a fire in our living room because I didn't want to replace it.
