Replacement Surface Pro Charger

[soundrunner96]

Hi all,

 

So I am trying to help my fiance solve her problems with her surface pro. Basically what has been happening is that the charger won't always charge the computer when it is connected, which is quite problematic for obvious reasons. While we can usually get it to work after a few different outlets, but it is becoming more and more common for this to happen. 

 

Does anyone have any suggestions on a replacement charger or a brand to look at? I figured I would check around on here for a good one before buying because the last thing I want is a third-party charger causing more problems with the computer.

 

Thanks!

pretty sure you can buy chargers from microsoft.

 

stay away from 3rd party chargers. they're usually cheaper than the real deal, and there's usually good reason why they are, and why you should avoud them.

 

also, have you verified this isnt a housewiring issue more than a charger issue?

The charging issue has happened at places rather than home. It's also a newer apartment and our other computers and electronics work fine so I'm pretty sure that it is the charger itself. The computer is still under warranty to we're planning on sending the charger back for a new one, but since it could take 6-8 business days we wanted to get a cheaper third party one for the time in between. My fiance does traveling for her photography business and is going on a short trip next week where she needs her computer so having to send back the charger and not having one for a week is not really possible.
