Can you dig it out of the trash? If it’s wall-side it can normally be repaired.

Is it just the frayed wires that’s causing the issue? Did they short together to destroy the charger?

That’s true, but they use nonstandard voltages on their chargers, and it can be tough to find an aftermarket that matches both the voltage and current of stock. Then you run into the “Dell has detected a non-Dell charger” scenario.

If they don’t match exactly, the laptop will lock you into power saving mode or battery operation only. Real John Deere vibes.

Dell is really crappy about third party chargers. When you get one of their laptops, you are stuck in their ecosystem. They used to do this with memory as well… then they didn’t… then they did again. Don’t know which phase they’re on right now, but I’d dig on eBay or Craigslist for an exact replacement.

Git gud, scrub

If you don’t rock and stone, you ain’t coming home.

I paid $230 for an open box Think v1 like five years ago, still use it everyday. I tried to upgrade to a v2, but the wife ended up with it instead.

You can get open box, unused steelcase chairs on eBay for cheaper than “gaming” chairs, BTW. There’s no reason to buy those abominations.

Also Texas, and the biggest I’ve seen is a 550 for a welding company.

Come to think of it, those whips in seasons one looked very suspicious.

Kuebiko is literally a scarecrow.
