Laptop charging problem

Post by wolseley2 »

My 2 year old Dell 17-3793 is showing 69% and still charging after many hours on charge.
Is this a problem with the battery or the charger?
This 85year old codger is out of his depth.

Hi
This could be battery first on the list. I think you can get he charger tested at a local PC repair shop or best buy and they would install the battery also not free of course.

If its the battery than here is a link for new one

If the laptop gets really hot shut it down. My other half had a Lenovo Yoda 920 for a few weeks it got really hot shut it down. Than we replaced it and I backup the Lenovo than after that one day was running than it died for good. It would have burn your hands if not careful.
