subject: Problems with overheated laptop chargers [print this page] Laptop chargers do not grab the attention until something goes wrong with them. The laptop charger may have gone missing, because the owner has inadvertently left the laptop charger behind at work or home, or has lost it in some other way. Another reason can be technical faults in laptop chargers and laptop adaptors.
Laptop chargers are vulnerable to some specific types of problems, one of which is overheating. When the laptop charger is plugged into the mains to re-charge the battery, it generates heat, which usually is dissipated into the surrounding atmosphere. However, if laptop chargers are placed in an enclosed space, such as being left in the laptop bag or surrounded by piles of paperwork on a desk, then heat cannot be lost and the charger may overheat. If this happens regularly then damage can occur to laptop chargers and they will no longer charge the battery efficiently.
Should you find that your laptop is running out of battery charge more quickly than you think it should, or that the battery seems not to be charging fully, then it is worthwhile checking your laptop charger to see if it has started to malfunction. If your suspicion is correct and you have a damaged laptop charger, this is inconvenient, but is not a major disaster.
