Proper Laptop Adapter Care

Laptop adapter is very important especially if the computer’s battery is getting low or drained. So, proper use and maintenance should be observed to keep the adapter in good condition. Of course, no one wants to have a non-functional laptop adapter/charger because it can lead to unproductive work if the computer doesn’t have power.

Here are some practical tips on using as well as taking care of your laptop power adapter:

1. If the power adapter is not working. Check first if the outlet is live before doing serious troubleshooting on the device.  In this way, it will save your time and effort as well as avoid unnecessary repair.
2. Use only the model-specific adapter for the laptop. Don’t use it in other gadgets even if the output voltage requirement is the same because the current might be different.
3. Always put first the DC output plug into the laptop’s power jock before putting the input plug on the power outlet. This is the correct method.
4. Don’t leave it connected into the computer for continuously long periods of time. If the battery is full, gently remove the cord in the laptop’s jock port.
5. Place the laptop adapter in an area where it will not fall. Keep it in a safe location where it can be hard to reach for children. Also, avoid dropping it to avoid damage.
6. Don’t shake or knock the adapter. Improper handling may break the internal parts and circuit boards.
7. Don’t place the notebook adapter in a cool place or near the air conditioner to avoid the device from getting moistened.
8. Avoid the metal tip of the adapter from getting in contact with other metal objects because it can cause short-circuiting.  Your computer might get damage when a short-circuited charger is used.
