When I plug in my charger to my laptop the charger light comes on for a few seconds then back off. What can I do?

Is the laptop battery removable? If so, take it out and try again.

If that doesn't work either the laptop is dead or the charger is dead. Obviously simpler to try a for a replacement power supply first.

Unless the laptop is worth potentially less than a new or refurbished charger would cost. Then it makes sense to buy a new laptop and try to get your data off the old drive.

It is, but you have to take the laptop apart.

The charger looks tiny, so I would start there. The small ones tend to burn out rather easily.

It is a cheap laptop though. Were you happy with the performance? If not I wouldn't spend anything on repairs and put it towards a new laptop. Ideally spending at least $400-500. Those $200-300 laptops are often obsolete within a year of purchase and just aren't built to last.

To be honest this is the best deal on hardware I have seen in ages:

A brand new 8th generation laptop, even has an Optane cache drive to accelerate the hard drive.

Thank you for your help I think it's my charging adapter cause I can't get power without a battery while plugged up either.
