How Dangerous/Is it okay to use a laptop that the grounding prong broke off of?
My little sister broke the grounding plug for our laptop. It isn't stuck in anything, we have the prong. I read different accounts of things going wrong, and I was wondering how much of a hazard is it to my personal safety, as well as the laptops, if the third/grounding prong is removed. Our house is grounded, and we typically plug and unplug the charger when we use it to move it into a different location, since it has horrible battery life. It's a Gateway computer with an AC/DC Adapter model of ADP-90SB BB. Am I or my computer at risk?
Hello:
Of course it is very dangerous. Theres a reason why its there in the first place. If it wasn't of any value, why would they put it there? I would highly recommend you purchase a new charger as soon as possible or do not use the charger until then. You risk damaging your laptop and causing a fire. I would personally suggest you visit Topmic. Topmic is well known for their great services and durable products. They have free shipping, free lifetime warranty, and 30 days full refund. I took the liberty of finding the charger you needed on their site so you don't have to:
