My computer just needs a new battery, right?

Question

I used the charger that isn't for my computer but it worked, and then i started having to tilt the charger at a certain angle for it to work, and then my comp. suddenly died. im pretty sure the charger still works because it lights up when i plug it in the wall. My comp. probably just needs a new battery, right?

Answer 1

If the voltage is wrong, you could have fried your computer.

Make sure you don't have a short.

Check your battery with a voltage meter.

Answer 2

If your computer works while plugged into the electric socket; then, yes. You need a new battery.

Answer 3

If you have to tilt your charger a certain way to get it to work chances are it has a short in it and is not charging the battery. I'll bet the battery is OK  but the charger is not.
