MSI charger: Has anyone else had this problem?
511645
I bought a MSI 120 this past March for my grandson and the charger died in September. I've tried to purchase a new charger from the MSI site and have it sent directly to my grandson but they refused to send it unless I added his address to my charge card. I told them I was not going to do that so they canceled my order. I've not been able to find a reputable online site for a replacement. Can you provide the URL of the site you bought your replacement? Thanks.

I never had a problem with it charging. Might be a defective device. It happens with mass produced products.

It will charge a 19v laptop, but im not sure if it comes with the correct plug for an MSI laptop. It will likely depend on your laptops model but I think one of the included lenovo plugs is compatible with most of the msi laptops that I have seen.

I'm having the exact same problem. Although my charger was somewhat inconsistent before it died completely. (For about a month the light would come on on the charger about 3/4 of the time when I plugged it in.)

If its the power adapter see if your version is a 5volt (some were 9volt check your adapter.. you can also get generic power supply with adapter to work as well) and has a usb to attach to a computer. If not then maybe a new charger is in order. I've had several Super Pad in the past, if the plugging into a computer usb or new charger doesn't work, only choice left is to depress the reset button.... If that doesn't work its inside the unit unfortunately. Repair or replace.

I can't say if this will work with your MSI but I bought mine to charge a 13.3" quad core tablet and that didn't work for me unfortunately.

Never had that problem. Try to use the battery and see how long it will last then you'll know if the charger is working properly, and if the batteries are fully charged or not.

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

Did you just exchanged yours? Mine also has a DOA broad com chip. I'm currently talking with Asus and they're getting back to me with a solution.

I'm not sure. I would check the voltage coming out of the adapter plug with a VOM meter to see if the problem is the charger or the computer/battery.

My best guess is to contact the company. They seem to be very active in gathering consumer support as they e-mailed me twice asking me to rate their product. I gave them two separate reviews, both rating the product as excellent and I am sure they will replace the charger.

To be honest I'm not much of a computer guru, but I would not be surprised if the two are somehow connected considering the quality of the charger. It might be something related to the wattage. Have you tried playing with the cursor speed?

I've had this problem many times with my Toshiba, when the battery runs all the way down or changing the battery you have to restart and go into the bios, when in there, load default settings, then restart and it should be charging again

Check your charging cable and (if applicable) the USB Wall Jack. I had this issue a while back, where the wall jack connector was not providing constant power (it'd provide it in a pulsing fashion). I later had a bad cable. Once I replaced the bad cable, it started charging with no issues.

I bought my charger for an Alienware M11X i7. I am assuming it is power hungry, and it charges fine, but I started with a new battery too. Try leaving the computer shut down until you have fully charged your battery the first time. If that doesn't work, you might have to replace the battery too. They battery has a finite lifespan, and possibly your battery has reached its limit. I wish I could be of more help. Good luck.

I ordered one of these for my msi laptop, and got the exact same model I had when I first bought the laptop. It's not the same as in the picture and as long as the P/N on the back of the charger is the same as the one you're trying to replace, everything should be fine. The P/N reffers to: the connector that goes into the laptop, the rated power (output voltage times output current), the rated output voltage, the input voltage and frequency, the wall outlet plug type (varies by country).

I have not experienced that, so i would guess there is a problem with the battery or your charger. I know that chargers can damage a battery, so you might check that.
