I have the Lenovo ideapad 320s-14Ikb and just wanted to charge it with the original power supply. The notebook still had some remaining battery. Now I have plugged one end into the notebook and the other end into the socket. But now it doesn't work anymore and the notebook clicks quietly. No LEDs light up. The metal ends of the connector seem to be slightly "melted", as I can see. But I plugged the end into a power strip with surge protection.
Did I kill the notebook?
What can I do?
Probably a total write-off, yes.
Take it away to someone who has a plan for it.
What a bummer, thank you
Go see a computer specialist. I hope you have nothing important on your laptop because you can probably forget the data.
If something has melted on there, this indicates a short circuit or a corroded plug / socket, in any case a defect and the notebook is a case for the technician.
How old is your notebook?
So I had the power supply connected to a socket (a few days ago) and there was a spark when I plugged it in. The notebook loaded wonderfully on this.
Great, that helps me. Not.
Actually only 2 years old.
You won't get any advice other than to go to a computer specialist here.
Sparks are always a bad sign, because they indicate a high current flow, which leads to corrosion and therefore usually too high a temperature.
In any case a case for a professional, only he can determine what can be done if necessary. From a distance I do not give any final diagnoses, but if something has melted that is a very, very bad sign, if you want to continue using it and if necessary simply try a different power supply unit without measurement, you can lead to worse errors and consequences (even fire ).
I also have a LENOVO and called the support once, they were very nice and helpful
0201/220 99 888
but only Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. To 6 p.m.
Ok, he's still quite young. The best thing to do is to go to the Lenovo specialist, who can then take a look and see the error straight away, maybe something can still be saved. These are just assumptions about the total loss, etc. Don't worry about it, you only know when you have taken a close look at it
Anyone who tries to charge a technical device with a defective charger should not be surprised if it suddenly no longer works.
