Power Cable

Consider a spare power cable

Laptop power cables are just as important, if not more important, than their desktop counterparts. The portability of a laptop can be deceptive at times. Many people who make use of the freedom of a laptop can find it very frustrating that a laptop's battery is its Achilles heel.

Every laptop user has experienced it. You're in a cafe, or at a meeting, and you remember that that last charge wasn't long enough to completely fill the battery. Your laptop power supply is almost non-existent. It's annoying, and it's embarrassing when you're trying to present a professional image.

Better battery durability may be available in the future, but for today laptop users need to provide for that moment when the battery turns critical. Carrying spare laptop adaptors is one way to ensure that your laptop never runs out of power at a crucial moment.

Having extra laptop chargers on hand is an incredibly useful thing. You can often see laptop users sneaking a little extra juice when they visit a cafe, and in fact some public places have begun to provide laptop recharge areas. This is incredibly handy for the mobile laptop user. The trouble is, with only one power cable, there is a risk that your laptop could be left without power.

Spare laptop chargers are such useful things it's amazing that manufacturers don't include them as an option on initial purchase. Luckily, you can increase your laptop's portability by sourcing laptop adaptors with us at Laptop Power UK. Browse our charger section for your make and model.

Is there a standard for power cable for laptops?

I have a Samsung NC10 net book, from europe. A few days ago I forgot the power cable in another country. Can I get just any laptop power cable from a computer store, or should I get a proprietary cable? Will the quality matter?

As long as the cable has enough power for your laptop, same watts, volts etc.

It's usually on some part of the power cable, and on the bottom of your laptop or on the battery.

Can A bad battery or power cable cause a laptop to Blue Screen?

Can A bad battery or power cable cause a laptop to Blue Screen?
Is there anyway to pinpoint the actual cause?
Usually yes but I honestly don't think that's it, the reason I think it might be the battery is windows keeps telling me I should consider replacing my battery.

BSOD errors are usually caused by driver problems. Try updating the computer's drivers. Try switching between the manufacturer's drivers and the drivers provided by Microsoft Update (assuming it is a Windows laptop).

Overheating can cause BSOD errors, and is especially common on Pentium 4, Pentium/Celeron D, and Pentium M era laptops.

Bad memory is another strong possibility. You can test your memory using MemTest86. Just search for it on Google.

The power supply being about to give out is another possibility. That is more common on desktop models though. Laptop PSUs tend to go out suddenly, all or nothing. Batteries will die in a similar way, although won't hold a charge for as long leading up to eventually not having enough power to even start the computer without support from the power cord.

Again, assuming it is a Windows computer, you can use the command prompt and the sfc /scanonce command to fix problems with the operating system files that could be causing the problem.

If you want to actually READ the BSOD error before it disappears, right click on My Computer, click Properties to bring up the System Properties screen. Click on Advanced, under Startup and Recovery click Settings, then under the "on system failure" heading, uncheck the option for automatic restart. Then when the BSOD error occurs, you'll have to press Control Alt Delete to restart instead of the computer restarting automatically. If you get a box afterward that says the system has recovered from a serious error, look for anything in the box that might direct you to an explanation. Be sure to send the crash report to microsoft, because they may send back a link to info on how to solve the problem.
