Does a Laptop Warranty Cover the Power Cord?

Hi, I bought a HP Envy Touchsmart 15 and it is still covered by warranty. However, I cannot find any support help online such as the support chat which I find very odd since I just used it about a month ago when my battery died! Where did all the support go?
Anyways, when I plug in my laptop, the LED by the power port does not come on, and my laptop will not charge or turn on at all. My battery is dead, but I know it works becasue it is less than a month old. Since my laptop will not run on AC power even with the battery removed, I feel the power cord is the problem.
I would really like to know if my warranty covers the power cord, and if so how do I contact HP, since there is absolutley no information when I go to "Contact Us" besides the consumer forums.
I am a ECE student at UT in Austin, and every day I go without a laptop is hurting my grades. So I need help ASAP

Hi
Yes, power cord, adapter are covered under limited warranty. HP would replace it for you if it's faulty.

Does the warranty cover the power adapter?

Lately my power adapter's light has been cutting in and out. Tonight I noticed it's frayed where the cable meets the input of the adapter. I'm wondering if the adapter is covered under Apple's warranty. I have Apple Care.
Furthermore, the battery also doesn't seem to be holding much of a charge these days. The computer is about two years old and the battery only has about 55 minutes of life fully charged. Is the battery covered under the warranty?

Hi,
Neither is covered. The frayed cable would be considered damage which is not covered. And the battery is a consumable item and is only covered for the first year. The average life of a lithium ion battery is about 2 years so it's time for a new one.

Does my extended warranty cover the casing?

Some time ago, I bought a lock for my MacBook Pro. It seemed kind of flaky, but I think it's pretty much the standard lock. You simply inserted one end of the lock into a tiny hole on the right side of the computer's exterior (I don't know if "casing" is the right term or not), turn the key, and it locks.
I only used it a couple times, then didn't take it with me to work for several months. Recently, I decided to take it to work again, but I discovered I couldn't lock it. I thought I had just forgotten how to use it, but it back to the store where I bought the lock, and their repairman looked at it.
He said it appeared that the lock wouldn't work because the hole you insert it into had more or less been ruined; it had been bent or gouged. I showed it to someone else, and they came to the same conclusion.
So I'm confused. How easy is it to bend or warp the exterior of a MacBook Pro? Is this something my extended warranty would cover? If so, how would Apple handle it? Would they be able to repair it, or would they give me a new computer?
I still haven't been able to figure out how the damage could have resulted. Someone suggested that a person might have actually tried to steal my computer and simply yanked on it really hard. However, this isn't likely, because the lock doesn't work - period. If they had gone to all the trouble of yanking on it, they should have easily discovered that the lock simply falls out.
Thanks.

apple's warranty (including applecare) does not cover accidental/deliberate damage
so unless you have a non-apple warranty that gives extended cover there is not much you can do about it (the cost of repair is likely to be steep, but you could ask for a quote)
if you can prove it is the result of an attempted theft then the insurance covering the premises where it happened might apply, but it sounds like you wouldn't be able to prove the cause
i regularly use a lock with the mbp, i don't think the casing would bend with normal use, but if someone didn't realise that the lock was there and tried to walk off with the mac then i wouldn't be surprised if it caused damage

Vibration on laptop every time the power cord is connected.

I always have my macbook pro connected to the outlet charger because I heard that is best to do. I've only had my laptop for about 3 weeks.
I've been noticing these last few days that when the laptop is in use or off, but still charging through the outlet when I touch the laptop, like whichever part i feel vibration. is this normal?? it's not very strong vibration, it almost feels like i'm bringing the energy to the surface.

If this occurs only when the machine is plugged into AC and not when it's running on battery power, the outlet (or outlets) to which you're connecting the three-prong cord is/are improperly grounded. This is a fault in the wiring in your house or place of work. You can confirm it by testing the outlet(s) with a simple, inexpensive device like this:

You don't have to order one from Amazon — any real hardware store will have one. The Amazon link is just for illustration.

My laptop turns off when i remove the power cord

I have a Pavilion dv7-6c27cl running windows 7 (64 bit). Everytime I remove my laptop from the power cord, it shuts down immdiently. The battery says that it is at 77% and charging. I don't know what wrong at all. The light on the side is orange. Ideas on what's wrong and how to fix it?

It has to be a battery problem....I am getting that it just sits at 77% and never goes higher or lower? If you are still in warranty, the battery is covered (up to 1 year, I think), and if not you need to buy yourself a new battery. If by some chance you could try another known good battery that would be helpful but that seems unlikely.

TS1713 Does my 1-year warranty cover the replacement of a damaged Magsafe adaptor?

The cord on my 85W Magsafe adaptor has been damaged. Does my 1-year warranty cover the replacement of the adaptor?

The cord directly connected to the adaptor was starting to rip off, and so my mother used electrical tape to fix it. The tape ended up melting, somehow causing the cord to rip off, but not completely. The charger works to an extent - it's very on and off. However, I still would like to replace it for a new one. Will I still be able to replace it? With warranty covering it?

Does the battery recall affect the power cord jack?

My computer battery is part of the recall. However in addition to the battery problem, the jack where the power cord plugs in is not working. I brought it to an authorized repair location and was told the "bronze wore off" and that the entire interior piece would have to be replaced. At a cost of approximately $500. since it is 2 years old. My question is this: could the faulty battery have affected the jack and therefore shouldnt this problem be covered under the recall?
ibook g4 Mac OS X (10.0.x)

Absolutely. And if they give you a hassle about it at the apple store explain to them quietly that a policy which does not factor into account the damage caused by defective parts is a marketing strategy that is admonishing the proper use of a computer. Furthermore it relegates the status of a consumer to the level of non-interest in furthering the aim of the company.
Hows that? It's the best I could come up with but in light of the trouble with the SEC that this and other companies are facing this should be ample enough ammunition to accomplish the mission [but don't hassle with applecare take it to the store unless you have a warranty and in that case it would be covered].

The power cord doesn't seem to work properly. It doesn't charge my Iphone 6. Does anyone have this problem?

It looks like there's a problem with the power cord or with the connector. When I plug in the phone it starts to buzz repeatedly that sound that notices the charge is starting, but it doesn't go on. On the screen, also, the battery symbol changes constantly from black to green to black again to green and so on, so I understand it's trying to charge, but it's not working.
Does (or did) anyone have this problem?
Thank you

So today I went to an official Apple store and did some tests. As you said, the problem was the cord itself. My Iphone it's only two weeks old, so I guess the warranty will carry with a new one. As I need the phone, I decided to buy another cord. In the end, I guess I'll have two cords, which is not such a bad deal.
Thank you all for you kind answers and help.

The power cord to my hp photosmart plus printer b209a does not work. what can i do?

The warranty for my computer's printer is up, but the printer has not turned on for quite a while. After going through the HP troubleshooting - nothing seems to work. When the power cord is plugged in, the green indicator light does not light up and the printer will not turn on at all.

Here's the steps to follow if your printer isn't turning on.
If you've gone through all those steps and you still don't have power, there are a lot of places that sell a replacement cord and supply for that printer.

My laptop crashes - i think it's the power cord but i'm not for sure

I have a 2 year old Toshiba Satellite Laptop model # A205-S4707. I bought it brand new in 2008, but I just recently started having this problem. I at first thought it was a problem with the video card because what will happen is the video freezes up and will show different color lines or a black or blue box. I thought the window air conditioning unit by my desk being on may have something to do with it because I started noticing the issue at the beginning of summer when I started using the window AC. The problem would normally happen when it would be loading my programs when I first turn it on, but now it crashes 30 minutes to an hour or maybe 2 hours after I turned it on. I than thought it might be my power cord since there's a couple places in my power cord where the inner wire is exposed, so I taped the areas and plugged it back in and it still crashes, but not as much as it used to. The other day it wanted to crash every time I tried to start my laptop up, and since it would just crash after 2 hours of it being on. And this morning it wanted to crash while loading windows twice when I had it plugged in, but when I unplugged it it's working fine. Something tells me it's the power cord causing the issue - anyone else have any experience with this issue? If so, how can this issue be resolved? I can't go on depending on battery usage because I like leaving my laptop on when I'm asleep (I have it turned off when I'm at work - so it's on probably 15 hours a day). If anyone can help me, I'd appreciate it. My OS is Windows Vista.
THanks,
Mike

I have an 18-month P305 series Satellite and for a while (approximately 8-9 months ago) I couldn't figure out why my laptop would all of a sudden shut down while everything was working fine, or sometimes it even shut off when I press the power button to turn it on. My laptop was also acting pretty wierd with the Illumination Buttons, they wouldn't respond and froze, wouldn't light up after the computer has turned on and sometimes it won't turn off if the computer's been completely shut down, yes, the lights still stay lit afterward.
Just last week, when I was moving my laptop around to adjust for comfort, the thing shuts down on me again, this time I realized that the ac light had a 'quick' flick and this tells me that there is something wrong with power supply, either DC jack or the cord by the plug. I usually disconnect the battery when I have it plugged in to preserve the life of the cells. So when every time this thing becomes loose, the laptop would shut off. I was actually blaming the problem with bad BIOS and and maybe faulty updated drivers. The other day, I held the wire (by the socket and the fuse) and kind of twist and turn it and sure enough, I lost power, and the ac light flickered. I knew right away that was the problem. I found an identical original OEM power supply on ebay for $15 shipped, received it today and all is well. All this time, the culprit was the power cord.
My advice is to take the battery out and run the power from the AC cord, wiggle and turn the 'wire' slightly by the dc jack, also, test the plug to the DC connecter; hold the barrel (the plug socket to the computer) and wiggle it, if it doesn't shut off then it's the wire and you need a new power supply. Make sure you buy one that is of high quality. I recommend OEM for safety reasons.

Envy DV7 laptop will not boot without the power cord being connected

My laptop won't boot on its own even when the battery indicator reads "fully charged (97%). If I have the power cord plugged into the computer (and the wall), it boots right away. Without the power cord, the "power indicator light" flashes once, the screen brightens to a lighter shade of gray, then it just shuts down.
I'm thinking I need to replace the battery but I thought it best to check with the experts first...................☺
Thanks!!
ETA..........I just saw the post about power cord failure. My power cord is one of those affected and I will be filling out the request for a replacement. Unfortunately my serial number is apparently located inside the battery compartment. I'm wondering if my cord has overheated and caused this boot problem with my computer.

Hello, @jksweeney
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that your having an issue with the power and your notebook. That you've applied to have the power cord replaced as it was part of the recall.
Please let me know when that has been taken care of if the issue remains. I will remain subscribe to this thread, so that I will be notified if you post again.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

My macbook pro has been shutting off on its own. The power cord "shuts off" (does not work) simultaneously. Does anyone know what is wrong? or what could be the problem?

When my mac finally turns on the date/time is reset a windows pops up saying, "Your computer's clock is set to a date before January 1, 2008. This may cause some applications to behave erractically."

The serial number has nothing to do with this.

Can you charge a macbook by any other means than the power cord? For example the usb drive? My cord works fine but the outlet on the laptop is not.
