My laptop charger started making some loud fast repetitive clicking noises. I immediately unplugged it and set it aside thinking I just need to buy a replacement charger (its about 5 years old).
However when I closed the lid of my laptop putting it to sleep, the power jack made two click/spark noises and a visible flash of light could be seen, it did the same thing ten minutes later.
I can't quite figure out how this is happening, whether being plugged into the dodgy charger has done something or if this is fixable.
Any ideas as to whats going on here?
