Charger seems to be charging my laptop but making a loud "processing" noise. Is this a malfunction or normal for this particular charger?

Malfunction. Chargers should not be making any noise. Mine definitely doesn't.

must be a malfunction...the one I just got makes no noise, nor the one that came with my laptop made noise...get a replacement!

The charger i received does not make any noises, so hopefully it helps you identify the issue. In your case i would definitely try to get a replacement as this noise usually corrseponds to malfunction. To add...my last charger which i replaced made those noises and aoon after stopped charging. Cheers

Sounds like a malfunction. Mine is completely silent. I would send it back.

I believe it's a malfunction. My charger doesn't make any noises while charging laptop.

The charger shouldn't be making any noise, nor any vibration or buzzing when plugged in. If it is, it may work fine and last a while, or it could fail at any time. Try another outlet just for kicks, but you will likely want to replace the charger to be safe. Mine's been silent and problem free since day one.

Sorry!!! I don't have that problem. My DELL is Inspiron 1505 and the charger works fine.

So far no problem, but I have used it very few times because I was unimpressed by sound quality. Have charged through the charger, not through my laptop, if that makes any difference. Will watch for problems. Thanks for heads up.

I believe this is normal operation. It did that for me with the original power supply. I think it's just to let you know when it's charging vs. battery mode. Hope that helps.

I am not 100% sure but I think this is a "switching" charger. Reason being is that it is pretty light and doesn't seem to have a transformer inside of it. You can also hear a high pitched noise when it runs sometime, which I think is indicative of a switching design.

I had the same problem with my G55 Asus this happens if you leave the laptop connected to the wall outlet for a long time. customer support told me to drain the battery power down to 0 and to charge it again. That fixed my problem. I hope this helps

No, that does not sound normal at all. Mine has never heated up noticeably, even when transferring hundreds of gigabytes. Sounds to me like there's something the matter with yours.

The charger doesn't make a sound, instead a green light turns on to indicate charging. Also my S4 makes the normal charging noise to confirm its charging and gives my a notification that is charging.

Our laptop had a small amount of charge left in it when we got it. The charger was included and the laptop charges fine.

Patricia, are you sitting it on the charger correctly? I have no problem. If you are perhaps a return or exchange is in order.

I am starting to have problems too, my computer is getting over heated and shuts down. As to your case, how long have you left it on the charger without usage?

I know it works while it's plugged into our laptop...so I'm assuming it's also charging. I know it doesn't take long to charge.

I'm using my standard charger. It works and I never really considered it as a problem.

I also bought this laptop recently and am also hearing the strange hard drive noise. It's like a squeaking sound. As long as the hard drive functions well it's not an issue, but if this is a precursor to hard drive failure then I'd be worried.

No, it's not normal, you should send it back, mine has always charged to 100% in the 3 months that I been using it.

I'm not sure if your unit is defective. My newtrent does not make noise when charging. you may have to contact the company so they can help you with that issue.
