Accepted Answer

To check if a laptop charger is faulty, perform visual inspections and test with a multimeter.

1. Inspect the charger for physical damage, such as frayed wires or burnt connectors.
2. Check the power outlet by plugging in another device to ensure it's working.
3. Use a multimeter to measure the output voltage of the charger; it should match the specifications on the charger label.
4. Test the charger with a different compatible laptop to see if it charges.
5. If possible, try using a known working charger with the laptop to rule out laptop issues.
