I am sad...
...because my laptop charger has broke and my laptop is empty of battery.
Don't tell me to ask the owner of the laptop, East Park Infants because I own it now, in East Park Juniors. I will ask a moderator to achrive this when I get a new charger that works.
I am using my mom's slow computer to post this right now. My mom's computer does not have BYOB.

That's usually a broken wire near the jack that goes into the laptop. Sometimes you can try twisting the wire in different ways and watch to see if it is charging when the wire is held a certain way (most laptops have a light that will come on when it is charging). If you find a way that works, use tape, boards, whatever to insure that the wire stays in that configuration. Then make sure that you don't pull on the wire - that's what usually breaks them in the first place.
Another option is to splice a new jack onto the wire, if you are handy with a soldering iron.
You can also buy a new charger from your local computer store...but it will cost you some pretty hefty bucks, maybe as much as $100. Good luck

We had a problem like that with our laptop. We couldnt get a cord replacement, and we were tired of having to hold it in, or taping it, so we just got rid of it.

Get a new laptop cord. My mom's laptop cord was having problems, so we got rid of it and bought a new one.

Stupid isn't a cuss.
On-topic: Is there any store around where you live that sell electronic appliances such as... a laptop charger?
Retired from Scratch, but just the language itself. Not the forums.
