Power supplies will die, but I've seen more HP laptops with broken
power connectors and power supplies with broken power plugs. That
style of plug has a very fine wire in the center of the cable. If you
bend the cable 90 degrees where it enters the plug, it will eventually
break. If that happens, you can still run the laptop with the power
supply plugged in, but it will not charge the battery.

Oops. That's wrong. The proper charger connector does NOT have the
broken center wire problem.

I was thinking of this connector:

which is for a different model.
