My Samsung laptop charger has the light coming on however it is not charging, the charger is heating up so is this the charger or the laptop? have ordered another charger from coywood.co.uk as they had universal one's and i rang a couple of local computer shops but these wanted £65 to even look at it so advice would be welcome incase this does not work?

Hi
first off dont use anything but an official charger, the cheap ones can and will damage your motherboard due to them being unregulated and supplying to much current.
If the charger has the light on but wont charge then the internal cable is broken and may be shorting out inside the sleeving.
check the cable by eye for severe kinks or bends in the cable.
Should you find one, cut the section just before and after the kink and then strip the cable back and join the wires and test it, if it works then you can either solder the wires and use heat shrink plastic to join them or buy a new one.
