Hp Spectre Wont Turn On After Damaged Charging Port

[Mahvah]

My HP Spectre is about 5 years old but has been working in perfect condition, hasn't bothered me in anyway during all these years. However, the other day I connected my charger to the device and the laptop just happened to operate really really slow, like it was unusable. The next morning the laptop was off and wouldn't turn back on

I had this checked bt a repair guy who said there was a clear damage in the charging port, which he replaced and tried to turn the laptop back on but it still wouldn't work. He saw this as the only damage to the laptop, everything else looked fine.

Now, it has been a week and my laptop still isn't turning now despite the damaged port being replaced. I'm a student with a lot of data saved on my laptop with no other alternative device to use (unless I spend a fortune on another laptop) so I need this laptop to work desperately.

Anyone had this issue who managed to make it work, please advise me!

Thanks

Reminder >>> Having backups of your data on other than the computer is critical.

That said, at this point, there is reason to believe the data on the system is OK.

Something to think about - computers can die.

Moving on...

If it has not already been done:

Five year old computer likely needs a new battery.

Test the battery AND the Charger unit.

The results will somewhat depend (of course) on the port having been properly repaired.

Nothing assumed - just a statement.

If it is all just "too much",

Take the computer back to the tech and ask him to test / replace the battery and / or the charger.
