nokia lumia charger stopped working

Hi, abromorgan.

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community.

I see that your Nokia Lumia charger stopped working. We suggest that you try the following:

• Verify that your charger is working, try the charger with another compatible phone.
• Restart your phone, if that does not help push and pull the charger plug gently with your fingers. If this helps, check the charger connector for any dust or dirt.
• If available, use a compatible USB cable and connect it your PC.

Please let us know if this helps. Thanks!

 

NOT WINDOWS external charger

The model number of the phone is not really significant, it's just a quick way to find out the part number of the battery inside. The charger is designed for a specific battery number. If that is the number of your battery then the charger should work correctly, whether of not your phone is listed as a supported device.

 

Universal charger

I was wondering if getting a universal charger a bad idea. We have 4 Windows 10 machines and 2 Chomebooks. All require different chargers. I am considering getting a universal charger so that I can reduce the clutter a bit. Would you suggest against it? If not, any reputable charger anyone would recommend? Thanks in advance.
