Cable Power
What can be done to prevent the power cable on a Toshiba Satellite A215 laptop from burning up again?
This is the second time the power cable has burned up. The cable itself frayed from overheating I suspect.
It would have to be a combination of things that made it fray. Like, for example, being bent at an extreme angle while in use for long periods of time. Power cables get hot from normal use. The plastic insulation gets soft. If the power cable is laid in a comfortable position, if it is allowed to cool before being wrapped up, and there are no problems with the power adapter port on the laptop, a power adapter cable will last for the life of the laptop.
Now, if you are using a Universal power brick, that is part of your problem. This laptop only requires a 65 watt adapter. Universal power adapters will push more juice to your laptop… up to 90 watts. This will cause the cables to get hotter. So, if you have not replaced it with a 19 volt 3.42amp brick specifically designed to work with your laptop… then you should do so. And feel free to buy one off eBay. Same brick as what you get from Toshiba, for a fraction of the cost.
