🛠️ Dell Laptop Not Charging? It Could Be a Broken Charging Port

Written By m byrne

If your Dell laptop suddenly stops charging or only powers on when you wiggle the charger just right, there’s a good chance your charging port is damaged.

🔍 Common Signs of a Faulty Charging Port:

  • The charger feels loose or won’t fit snugly

  • You have to bend or move the cord to get it to charge

  • Your battery stays stuck at 0% or drains quickly

  • Sparks or overheating around the port

🧰 What Causes It?

Charging ports can wear out over time due to:

  • Regular plugging and unplugging

  • Accidental tugs or tripping over the cable

  • Internal damage from power surges or moisture
