computer laptop power cord overheating

I have a HP Pavillion DV6409us.  I got it for at least 3 years.  The first power cord it came with broke at the bend of the hook into the computer, ordered a generic replacement cord - he worked nearly a year and snapped in the same place.  Ordered the exact same generic cord in May and it now (after using it for 3 months) overheating where the plug goes into the computer.  It got so hot you can feel it and he put a black line around the plug (the real end of rubber around the metal was extremely hot - almost soft).

I decided that it must be something with this charger generic so I bit the bullet and spent 100 for new sector and HP power cord adapter.  It has today - plugged and it got hot in a few minutes.  What is the cause?  Obviously this is not the power cord.  Laptop was working fine and now would be if I could charge the battery.

HP sent me some letters that the batteries being recalled, but when I look at mine until it is not on the list but really don't think it's the battery anyway because he's hot, even if the battery is out.

I hope someone can help me - can't afford a new laptop now.

The DC Jack on the laptop is very likely wrong, use a flashlight and look in the plug for damage, there will be some or all of the black plastic missing in the central part of the CC.

  • HP PC laptop power cord safety program removal and replacement

    I buy laptop HP P r022tx last month. I saw that HP Notebook PC AC Power cord safety recall and the program of replacement on the HP site. According to the guidelines that I check my adapter, it is of type LS-15. But so far I can't find such a problem of large heating in it. Should I ask replacement if she will give such a problem in the future...

    Please follow the link:

  • Error on blue screen of Windows 8: SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED on Wake-Up, posting of laptop power cord

    Question: I experience the infamous BSOD accompanied by "SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED" on Windows 8, when I wake up my laptop Dell Studio 1558 from the standby mode or when I disconnect the power cord of the charger. This error message is sometimes followed "(atikmdag.sys)."

    Context: I bought my laptop (Dell Studio 1558) directly from Dell.com about two years ago. It comes with Windows 7. I have upgraded to Windows 8 (not a clean install). I then did a clean install of it when I saw the above question, although it did not fix anything. I don't have a similar such problem when I was running Windows 7.

    What I did:

    • Has undergone a new installation of Windows 8
    • The latest version of BIOS provided by the Dell Web site
    • Installed the latest versions of all the drivers from the Dell website (Windows 8 shows no missing or peripheral drivers in Device Manager unknown)

    XML file of historical reliability (Hosted on MediaFire): http://www.mediafire.com/view/?ykk5k1nkfckdf99 <-- (if="" this="" helps="" diagnose="" any="">

    I have very little technical experience. If there is additional information, I can give you which could be useful, please let me know. I look forward to your ideas.

    HA! And once again, with only a few hours of difficult things, I solved the problem myself. Provided by Dell.com video card driver is not the latest version - actually, it's a very generic version, which seems to have caused my BSOD problems.

    Given that the BSOD, sometimes accompanied the text, "(atikmdag.sys)", I googled the phrase and discovered Member that it's related to something like a core of AMD (shrug).

    Given that this seems to be video related to the card, I went back to the files-> computer (right click-> properties)-> the Device Manager and re-checked my video card driver. As mentioned in the previous paragraph, any driver I downloaded was something of very generic - it wasn't AMD for some reason any. So, I just clicked it and updated the driver. This update solves the problem, and I am now updating the driver to the latest version directly provided by AMD.

    I hope this helps others with the same question. Thanks for your point of view.

    Hello

    Could be a BIOS problem. And it is more likely to be the charger circuit that the
    battery although anything is possible. Definitely check with the support of Compaq and ask
    in their forums because this could well be a known issue with a hotfix.

    I hope this helps.

  • switch wireless HP Pavilion dv4-111nr entertainment computer laptop power

    A person pushes the broadcast icon light keyboard so it turns blue (on)?

    Is there a software switch?

    [fn]? #

    Thank you

    Some laptops have a built-in function and key to activate wireless. This may be another key, usually a function key with the symbol wireless on the key itself more Fn (function key).

    You should consult the manual of your laptop how to find that type of functionality.

    Some laptops, like you said, could have a manual switch on the side or the front.

    The laptop is about 2 years old.

    Does anyone else have this problem that I wonder? do you think it is safe to use with just the battery? Don't know what to do about it - any advice would be welcomed!

    I would not use the laptop, the power failure may have damaged components of the laptop.

    You have to send the laptop adapter + cable to a service provider authorized to ensure its all working properly.

  • The battery status icon does not display the symbol of the AC power cord when the laptop is running on the current and recharge

    I have a Compaq presario with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. A few years after an update of Windows, the status of battery in the systray ICON ceased to display the amount of time left on the battery and it stopped display the symbol of the AC power cord when it was being turned off of the AC adapter.  If I remove the battery, then the cord appears.  Put it back in the slot and the rope faints and I have the same shape of rectangle get you if the computer is running on battery only.  Any ideas how I can get the cord to display when AC power feeds the laptop.

    The accumulator is recharged, but there is no busy indication, apart from the height of solid white fill.

    Hi Graeme,

    Thanks again for the update.

    Laptop computer should turn on without the battery when it is connected directly to the power source. As Techgod said it could be a hardware problem, it is possible that the problem is with the battery.

    I suggest you to contact the manufacturer of the laptop to get help.

  • Computer laptop closed? Fan overheating?

    Hi all.

    I have read many topics on this forum about on any laptop fan not working not, laptop computer overheating or the laptop apparently randomly stopping.

    I had this problem for about three months. I tried supporting the laptop so the fan (stupidly positioned in the middle of the base of the laptop!) could get air. He was not arrested, but it was ridiculous to have to raise my laptop everywhere wherever I was going, and fan was also ridiculously strong.

    I took my laptop to a doctor and it turns out that there was a fault with the chip on the motherboard that controls the fan. It caused the fan not work properly, causing overheating and computer laptop closed.

    I set myself and my laptop is now nice and quiet and I don't have to support it and it is not closed.

    Sorry if this is bad news! Hope you can get your laptop fixed!

    Bad news. Anyway thanks for the info.
