Is my laptop charger bad?
For context, I bought an Asus VivoBook 15 **band new** from Amazon just over a year ago and it's been a really good laptop and hadn't given me any issues until recently when I noticed a faint crackling coming from my laptop. After doing some troubleshooting I've found that not only does my laptop crackle when it's plugged in, but my charger makes a very similar noise as soon as it's plugged into an active socket, my question is: is this safe to keep plugged in? Cause to me this feels like something shorting inside the charger causing a short in the laptop?
