Alright, I had my Laptop since December 25 2007. The charger was was working perfectly until the first week of July. It just stops charging at random times and now it doesn't charge at all, so I bought a new one last week ($180). This one was working fine but after a couple of days it started doing the same thing as the last one. Yesterday was the day the new one stopped working...I honestly don't know what to do at this point. The cord isn't crumpled or over heated...

Help would be appreciated...

Check and see if the charging pin in the actual laptop is loose. Happens to me every few years. You have to ship it off and they should fix it up.

Well, most laptops (in the UK anyway) are covered by a one year warrenty, so you should be able to contact your manufactuer and have it repaired free of charge.

(Also consider the possibility of the battery problem unless you can power on without a battery connected.)
