Q:Hello, my Compaq Evo n610 charger or charger socket stopped working a few days ago. It no longer charges my laptop correctly. I know the problem is either one of those because the battery is good, but I don't know how to tell which is the problem. Contacting Compaq doesn't seem to solve any problem because I am out of warranty.Any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Q:I was going to buy a cell phone and plan from Koodo, and I noticed a 'travel charger' and car charger for sale as accessories. Am I to assume the phone (a refurbished Samsung U410) does not come with a charger?

All cell phones at the very least come with a home charger. If it does not have one when you make the purchase then ask for one a home charger should not be a seperate purchase when getting a phone. The travel charger and the car charger are seperate purchases that you can make if you feel you have a need for them. I hope that this helps and good luck.

Q:How long will it take for a MacBook charger to charge a lifeless MacBook pro? I have just attached it! Didn't switch on straight away! Thanks!!!

It will take a little while longer as the MacBook charger is 65 watts I think, and the Macbook Pro charger is 85 watts. Its okay to use the Macbook charger on a Macbook pro as a temporary basis, but you need to fully charge the Macbook Pros battery first (until the magsafe connector light goes from Red to Green), and then use it. If using the macbook pro with the macbook charger plugged in, you might notice the battery draining, due to the fact that the macbook pro uses more power than the regular macbook charger can provide. Hope this helps!

Q:Does leaving a device on its charger for a certain amount of time (say 3 months) after it is fully charged damage the battery? What problems can this cause?

it depends on the charger. some chargers turn themselves off when the battery is full. those are much easier on the battery when it is left on the charger for a long period.

Q:Hi, I have a dell xps1530 and recently the charger for it seems to be playing up. When I plug it in sometimes it acts as if I haven’t plugged it in (the green light doesn’t come on on the charger itself and when plugged into my laptop nothing happens). However if I unplug it at the mains and then try again a few times the light will come on and it will be back to working perfectly again until I unplug it again.I don’t see what the problem here could be?

The wire on the charger might be faulty or your wall outlet does not have sufficient energy output. Or perhaps the pronged part of the charger connecting the plug to the adapter is loose - push it back in and make sure it is secure. -- Try plugging it into different outlets to see if one works consistently, then you know it's the outlet's fault. If you bend the wire while it's plugged in and the light goes off, then you know the wire has broken.

Q:I have two old Gateway computers.I mean XP old.So, I'm wondering if their chargers will be compatible, being that they are both Gateway

Here is an excerpt from a laptop charger site: Will This Charger Work For My Laptop? The following three condition should be met for you to use this charger safely. You can contact us here if you need further assistance. 1) Output Voltage is within +/- 5% of your old charger's output. For example, if your old charger provides 19.5V, then you can use a charger that provides 20.5V or 18.5V. 2) Output Current is the same or higher than that of your old charger. For example, if your original adapter provides 3.42 Amps, then you can use a charger that provides 3.42 Amps, 3.9 Amps or higher. 3) Connector tip must fit securely into your laptop. So just make sure the voltage is within 5 percent of each other and the amperage required is greater than or equal to. Good luck!

Q:I have a Fujifilm digital camera and a charger did not come with it and i need to charge it to use it but i dont have one does anyone know of a random charger that will fit the slot and charge it?

If it uses a charger, it surely has a battery! What's to cost if it would not. All cameras have batteries. Some use uniquely designed batteries which are all rechargeable while some use disposables which can also use rechargeables. The Z30 makes use of a propriety NP-forty five Li-ion battery % that you recharge as soon as it runs out of juice.

Q:I have a rayovac 15 minute battery charger, and when i go to charge the batteries, it charges for about three minutes and then shuts off. When i went to put the batteries in the camera, they were empty! Is it the charger, or the batteries? I've had it for about nine months. Thanks!

plug the charger in, THEN insert the batteries. If u did that, either the batteries are toast or the charger is. try a different set of batteries or a different charger.

Q:I was wondering why LT left the chargers because he WAS my favorite player when he was on the chargers but not anymore.

As another answer said, LT was forced to leave the Chargers. From what I saw, LT wanted to retire a Charger, and I think he should have been given the opportunity to retire there. He has given that franchise so much over the time that he spent there, and obviously the organization felt that he wasn't the same player he was 5-6 years ago. So they decided not to renew his contract. It was the organization's decision to part ways with LT, and not his. So when an organization makes it clear that they don't believe in you as a player, then of course you have no option but to leave. LT was indeed a great player, and he is one of the classiest in the NFL. But the Chargers felt he wasn't going to be much better than he was at the time. Also note, there were a few controversies surrounding LT in regards to whether or not he was physically and mentally tough enough. I remember just before he left SD, he was questioned about whether or not he was truthfully injured in one of the playoff games. He was seen on the sidelines working out on an exercise bike, when many felt he could have continued to play in the game. So there were multiple reasons as to why the Chargers wanted to part ways, but the majority of it was his decline in effectiveness.
