Acer swift 3 melted end of charger, plastic is stuck in the charging port.

Elliep

Today when charging my Acer swift 3 (just over 1.5 years old) I noticed a strong smell of burning plastic. On investigation, I realized that my laptop had actually melted the end of the charger, and (now solid) plastic is stuck in the charging port. I brought the laptop from Curry’s and the warranty has now run out. Can I get a refund or replacement for this kind of thing, given the laptop really isn’t that old.

Alternatively, is this something that can be fixed (and is worth fixing)?

The warranty probably expired, check with your retailer, if this is the original barrel plug power adapter and not a USB-C charger I think you have a good chance they will help. If the port is soldered to the motherboard you may have to replace the MOBO and that will be very expensive.
