If your laptop is plugged in but not charging, you’re not alone. This is one of the most common laptop repair issues we see at iPhoneBits in Glengormley.

Before assuming the worst, here are some of the most common causes:

1️⃣ Faulty Charging Port (DC Jack)

Over time, charging ports can loosen or crack internally. This is especially common in Dell and HP laptops. If the charger feels loose or only works at certain angles, the DC jack may need replaced.

2️⃣ Damaged Charger

Always test with another genuine charger before assuming the laptop itself is faulty.

3️⃣ Battery Failure

Laptop batteries degrade over time. If your device only works when plugged in, the battery may need replaced.

4️⃣ Charging Circuit Fault

In some cases, the issue lies on the motherboard — often in the power management IC or charging MOSFETs. These faults require proper diagnostics before parts are replaced.

At iPhoneBits, we carry out structured diagnostics before recommending repairs.

If your laptop isn’t charging, bring it into our Glengormley store for proper assessment.
