Pls people, I use a compaq presario laptop and d chager gets burnt within 3weeks, I mostly play games with the laptop, please who can help me out here.

Your charger gets burnt within 3 weeks? When you were using the laptop, do you always plug it to genera
tor light or NEPA light? Because using all these low quality adapters of nowadays with generator light can easily burn the charger (especially those type of generator that are so called "I pass my neighbour" type).

Light ke?
We almost never have power supply, I plug to my 'i pass my neighbour'
Ppl say the chargers I bought are low quality chargers, am thinkin of buyin a fairly used charger, heard that one lasts longer.

Trust me, if you can't recognize original charger, even if you go for a fairly used one, you might still buy low quality of a fairly use charger.. I will advise you to give the money to one nearby (but trusted) computer repairer around you there. But be ready to pay extral for giving it to a tech to help you buy it - he would want to add the money for his stress.

Find stabilizer, always remember to put the stabilizer in delay mode...

I had this same issue some weeks ago. Bought 3 chargers in just 3weeks.

Here's what I found out:
The connecting cable to the adapter was the first problem. It was faulty...given to high voltage. This I replaced.

Nepa light was way too low...so I'd advice u buy a connecting cable that has a fuse.

I think what worked for me, may work for you too.

Goodluck

Go to any computer store and ask for surge protector. Thank You.
