Alternation between charging mode and battery mode

Hello, here it is
I have an ASUS X70

For some time now, it switches from battery mode to charger mode every second, the icons indicating this on the screen keep appearing endlessly, my laptop is no longer charging, my battery is at 38% and won't increase, but it keeps saying it’s charging

The WORST part is that even with the battery removed, the laptop still bugs, it switches from battery to AC mode, and at one point it shuts down, I suppose it’s the charger that is supplying inconsistent current, like a bicycle dynamo that isn’t going fast enough and the light keeps flickering

Does anyone have a solution?

Thanks in advance

Configuration: Windows Vista / Safari 535.7

    Hello

    It seems that your charger is faulty..
    You should be able to find one easily at:
    https://www.aboutbatteries.com/
    or:
    https://www.100000volts.com/

    In any case, stop using it only on AC power without a battery; you are taking a big risk for your PC..

    See you!

    Hello,

    It’s possible that your charger is defective (short circuit?).

    Try borrowing a compatible charger to test or buy an ASUS or compatible charger.

    In any case, don’t play around with plugging and unplugging too much, as you risk burning your motherboard.

    See you!
    Every problem has a solution; if there is no solution, then there is no problem.

    I just had the bug again, and when I put my ear on the charger, it makes an alternating sound. I suppose it's not converting the current properly. I will try with another charger.

    Thanks for your help!

      A few days ago, I saw universal chargers on sale for €20 at Géant. Go check if there’s one near you.
