    hey guys its me again, uhm my charger just blew up i mean sparked cos i was using it i plugged it on the right socket and when i put it on my laptop and do the wiggle thing so that it can charge it sparked and stuff cos like some metal stuff is hanging out from the connector.

    now everytime i use it its not charging or anything it makes a noise beeping one.

    im was looking to buy a universal charger awhile ago 90w and all and it only says that its not compatible i was thinking that if its my laptop or try to wiggle the connector so that it might charge like my old charger it doesnt work.

    im not from the states so i cant ship in a new dell charger but what should i do? have the old charger in a repair store or my laptop cos everytime i try a universal charger it would say not compatible and the universal chargers are like 90w. i was thinking on finding a 120w one but idk

    im really losing hope. please anyone help me

    More than one type of dell charger will work. I'm using an old E1705 (9400) charger as my office charger.

    Please do not wiggle the connector
