How To Fix Your Broken Laptop Charger Tip On The Cheap

- My laptop charger's tip was broken and I didn't want to spend $50-$100 on a brand new charger, especially since the rest of the charger was fine. I decided to fix it myself for less than $10 and make a do-it-yourself guide to show how quick and easy it can be. Enjoy!

4 years later and still helping people. Thanks man!
Thank you for taking so much effort to make this video. This was exactly what I was looking for. Also this is environment friendly. People will buy a new charger and junk the old one (Most of which is fine), adding to electronic waste !
thank u for the GREAT VIDEO! I am so impressed with how you remain likeable yet got straight to the point and wasted NONE of my time like most other how to videos seem to do. oh yeah, and i was 100% successful in fixing my laptop charger thanks to ur video!
This is probably exactly what I need to do, really appreciate the price break down
I used to solder a lot back in college. One of those skills that everyone should learn. Fixes a lot of issues that otherwise would cost a ton of money. My technique is to feed in solder after the contact area is warm. You can also spread the solder along the contact area for a more secure connection.
Solder itself may not come with your iron. I would also be careful when soldering. The fumes are toxic (part of it is lead after all). For small, infrequent jobs, not a big deal.
Great video! One suggestion for a future video, how to buy video games cheaply!
+Ajay Madhav Thanks for the comments and feedback! Very helpful information, and I'll add that idea to the queue!
My laptop stem has been bent for a while and tonight it finally snapped. It's hanging on by a thread but I'm still nervous using it so I'm glad I found this tutorial so I won't have to go through the cost of finding/buying a replacement for the whole charger cord. Thanks a bunch!
Dat Murloc sound byte doe. Also Harbor Freight is bae.
I just ordered a new charger at Ebay for $6.64 🙃
THANK YOU SO MUCH, NOW MY CHAGER FOR MY LAPTOP IS FIXED!!
After watching this video , i assemble my it together using duct tape and it work. I am seriously laughing HAHAHA. THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH!
IT REALLY WORKS?!
Hi
@@j.s.hilldale8691 yes haha
Man, are you saving people money! Thank you.
This is great. My adaptor broke but I may try this method. Thanks, dude!
The adapter splice worked for my cpu adapter. I took your word for positive to negative. I used hot glue on the soldering points then electrical taped the Frankenstein splice. All and all the laptoo is still working.
Clever idea. Ive had this problem before but didnt think to do this.
+keiran bowes Thanks! I can think of so many other things I could use $40-90 for haha, so I always try to find the cheapest (but still sufficient) method.
For the longest time I have used a old laptop as a plex media server. I was given the machine because the screen was busted. Recently my cousin gave me another laptop and I found out the screen was busted. This laptop is way better than the one running plex at the moment. So it immediately met the requirements for becoming the new plex machine. Problem was that the laptop didnt come with a charger. So I fired up my web browser and headed over to youtube. Typed in "noab laptop charger". And I found this video which helped me change my old laptops charger tip to a tip that the new laptop accepted. Long story short it all worked out. How did I know that Danny would have made a video about a laptop charger tip replacement/fix? Cause thats the kinda stuff nerds on a budge do!
Just found your channel, and I'm already really liking it. Your videos are very nice, with clear audio and video (for the most part), as well as very good descriptions of everything. I think your channel will take off soon!
+11computersrock11 Thank you so much for the kind words, I appreciate it.
You can shrink heatshrink tubing by heating it with lighter, btw great vid!
That's true! But would the fumes that come off of it be worse? I've heard that you can also use the tip of the soldering iron to shrink it too, but I've seen it let off fumes, I guess if you do it outside it wouldn't be a problem!
No, the fumes won't come off when you heat it with lighter until you heat heatshrink itself to the point when the plastic(or rubber idk)starts melting. Don't use tip of your iron to heat it. You will ruin your tip.
Lmao props on the murloc sound effect. I've got a universal adapter kit and none of the bit will fit this lenovo chromebook I just found. This thing is mega tiny. I can straight wire it but I hate to ruin one of my bits for this thing not knowing if the machine has an onboard hardware problem keeping it from turning on. I used an HDMI cord and plugged it into a TV.... No lights. /Shrug ill figure it out. Nice video btw
Nice! Fitting how LinusTechTips released a video of Luke repairing his mechanical keyboard. Concept for this is channel awesome. Keep it up the great ideas!
+Ewoodthemacguy (Erik Wood) Thanks man, your kind words and feedback are always appreciated. Also, I do keep a mental note of the subs that have been around since the beginning, so hopefully you're in for the long haul!
Dude thank you for this. I knocked my laptop off my couch and the tip broke. I ordered a universal one from Amazon but now I'll use this to repair my old charger and have 2 chargers. I'll probably also try to charge it with my bench power supply at some point because why not
Lol, glad this older video is still helpful!
I also broke my charger tip after laptop fell. How best to remove tip from laptop???
@@jeannesantillan7326 I actually ended up going a different route because I couldn't buy just the tip anywhere. So I bought a 65W GaN charger (higher W the better, more amps for simultaneous device charging). I then use a USB-C cable (make sure it can handle your laptop's wattage - multiply Volts x Amps if the wattage isn't listed on the original charger). Then buy a USB-C adapter to whatever size tip fits your laptop. If the tip ever breaks again, you only need to buy another USB-C to tip adapter. Or just buy several in case it happens again. Handles charging my 45W laptop and 15W phone with 5W to spare - just don't plug in 2 phones with the laptop or you'll under power it, unless you buy a very high W charger
@@jeannesantillan7326 sry, went on a rant without answering your question lol. Tweezers seemed to work, along with holding the laptop on the side to let gravity do the work
Thank you this is a smart idea to save people some money
Merloc scream got me good
I was waiting for a build video but this got me satisfied,Love the intro.
Keep it up Danny.
You still owe as a build video thoe ;)
+Edgar WL Haha thanks for the comment Edgar. And Dude! It has been less than a month since the last one, I try to set aside an entire day to do all the recording so the lighting doesn't change dramatically and so that I don't look different (hair and outfit) but the last few weeks it's been hard to find a day that I can do it. I have all the parts ready to go but just need to find the time. I may release a few more shorter videos in the meantime, so hopefully those can hold you over :)
THNK YOU SO MUCH i thought it was impossible you have earned a sub your my hero
:)
Hey! Quick supportive comment: your videos are informative and, I'm sure, very useful to a lot of people, while keeping the fun factor, intended or not (the autofocus comment made me laugh :p). Keep it up buddy!
+Grumpy Etha Thanks a bunch, and thanks for noticing that I put effort in spicing up the information with my own flavor. I'm not a pioneer at making informational videos, people have done that before me and will continue to do it after me. What I hope to also bring to the table is entertainment and a relate-able personality that people enjoy watching.
I appreciate this video. It was a seriously big help. Thanks
Glad to see such an old video still be helpful!
You definitely earned my sub, keep up the good content and I'll be looking forward to more of your videos.
+Alexandria Frost Thanks!
I have the same type of tip but one of the piwer supply pins connecting to the main pin was broken. How do i connect positive pin to the center of the main pin?
Saved my life
Thanks!!
good fix. clean work.
Ok great video but mine happen in the middle of the wire. I cant figure out how did mine happen can i just use blackwire tape neg then wire each to their wire.? Just. asking trying it out for the first time?
What about the new hp all in one PCs they got like pins in the back
why does my laptop charger have 5 cables but the barrel connector on the end only has 2/3 connections
I like ur channel already keep up the good work man. U earned one extra sub ;-)
+RZrox Thanks for the support!
you are awesome, dude.
Have you soldered before? I would like to see a roof tour, specifically about the skateboards.
+Chris Nguyen (Killz4Dayz) I can only remember soldering two other times in my life, so hopefully this video shows that anyone can do it. Those two times were once to fix my DDR pad, and the other a looooooong time ago back in middle school when we did stained glass and used solder to hold the shards together. Also, can you explain what a roof tour is? I tried googling it and couldn't find anything haha.
I meant room tours haha. But really like your videos. Will there be more PC builds?
+Chris Nguyen (Killz4Dayz) Ah that's what you meant LOL. Yea I can definitely do a room tour in an upcoming video, thanks for the suggestion! And yes, another PC build is planned for the future, just kind of strapped with time at the moment and want to keep a steady flow of videos so I'm doing some shorter ones alongside the longer detailed builds.
i like need those
charger tips!!
this helped me but it took a long time
My plug on my notebook charger broke off in the round plug on the notebook and I tried pulling it out with a tweezer but it doesn't work. Any ideas?
can you put links to the parts in the description box please ?
What is the voltage in feedback pin of adaptor?
Good job!! :)
you should do a sleeper pc build
+bose vlogs What do you mean by that? The biggest factor to making anything look like a sleeper is the outer appearance, so are you just recommending that I put some of these builds into really old school computer cases?
yes
bose vlogs Haha, if a case goes on sale and looks pretty boring I'll grab it, buuuut that's kind of hard to find, most cases these days are black and don't have the old school off-white color anymore.
i curious if all you will be doing is showing us cheap ways to build a pc and stuff. Will you also show us really cheap tech that will increase gaming experience, and up your nerd points???
+black magic753 Oh don't you worry, I'll be doing a lot of non pc stuff as well. Right now I'm just trying to get enough content out to help people with the PC related things (as you can see they have all been related) but I do intend to do a lot of product reviews on nerdy/geeky products as well :) I have a video planned to talk about cosplaying, would you be interested in that by chance?
+Nerd on a Budget Indeed i would be
Stay tuned! I have so many video ideas right now but I am limited on the time I have to create them, but I think they will be worth the wait :)
Just a quick question, do you have to use a soldering iron? Or can I use superglue 😅
You can technically super glue it if you twist the wires together or make sure they make good contact, and you glue AROUND them. But glueing it is not advised, because if the glue comes between the wiring then it will not conduct
Hi! I had the same problem with my lenovo charging cable. It still works (for now!) but I am really scared it would stop working, especially now it is hard to order given coronavirus! Would you know if it works the same way with the lenovo charging cable before I cut it open?
should work the same, just make sure the sizing (inside and outside diameter) for the charger tip is the same.
what type of solder wire did you use?
I cannot find the correct tip for my charger ;(
;c i wish you made this early it could have saved me around $900.00 us i ended up breaking my laptop trying to fix the connector for the charger, i found out it fried my motherboard.
+Tech Gaming Awwww that sucks :/ Sorry to hear that, how'd that much damage occur?
Nerd on a Budget Motherboard fried battery broke an hard drive unrecoverable and warranty expired and i read the contract i would have had to wait 6 more months to replace the battery through warranty.Only thing left was the one thing i never used,the optical drive,and the removable ram(used ram obliviously not the removable fetter).
you don't need filter?
WHat do you call the part that connects to that in the computer? that is the part that is broken on mine.
dc connector tip, usually
how can i get a new charger for lower price
hey noab, what do u use to overclock intel cpus? im gonna overclock an intel core 2 duo from 2.33 ghz to .. well idk :p but i just want to know what program u use. THANKS :D
You can do it by going into the BIOS
Nerd on a Budget oh ok i will try it.. Thanks :)
That's soooo cool.
+M Ly Love your sarcasm bae :)

What was that 2015 minecraft youtuber music at the end
my laptop charger tip has three (3) wires
I would hate cutting my mousepad....
Fab
Wait how is this uploaded on the 18th of feb and it says on his laptop 2/13/2016 -_-
Because I shoot footage sometimes a week or two prior to editing and uploading.
I can't use that welding thing. I'm a girl. I don't know anything about fixing shit like that and I'll probably mess it up
The soldering iron is pretty inexpensive and easy to use, practice on some junk cords before doing the real thing and you'll be fine
This is just the charger's tip!!
Correct, I shall add that in the title! I think most of the time though people ruin the tips and just throw out the whole thing, which this video was meant to show that it's REALLY easy to save the entire thing and replace the tip
Are you keeping out on me dude seriously I said cheaping out like what the heck buy toilet paper at 25%.
you should add the links to the items you buy - you speak so fast and unclearly I can't hear where you bought them
wow! I'm sorry u had trouble understanding him but i thought that was one of his best attributes!
