Noisy charger

[Jaggar345]

I use the stock charger to charge my phone once a day. Since I have had it it seems to always be making this somewhat high pitched buzz. Sorry don't really know how to describe the noise. Just want to know if this is an issue or does this just happen with the charger. Has anyone else noticed this with their charger?

Thanks for the help!

My brother also has a droid dna I'm going to test his charger out and see if it's only mine doing it tonorrow. If that's the case I will get a new one. Will post results tomorrow. And yeah I'm worried about it starting a fire.

Sounds like a capacitor has swollen in the charger. Replace it with an OEM unit asap as the output has surly changed. This may lead to battery fatigue/failure.

I'm going to call HTC and send it to them and get a new one. For now I'm just going to use my nexus 7 charger. That shouldn't harm my phone at all correct?

I wouldnt use the nexus 7 charger cause the output on it is 5volt 2amp on it. the DNA charger is 5volt 1 amp. it might be too much juicefor a smaller battery. the n7 battery is more than twice the size of the dna. If it was me I would at least use one for a phone.

So I should use my dna charger until I get a replacement? I guess I will just have to go without a charge for a bit as these are my only two chargers, I lost my samsung one.

So just got off the phone with HTC and they are sending me a new one no questions asked. This is my first experience with HTC support and I'm very impressed on how they handle issues. Thank for all the help. The rep also said I could use my nexus 7 charger without it harming the phone.

Even though the rep said it was safe for you to use the Nexus 7 charger, I'd get a 2nd opinion. They are no experts, just people reading form a computer screen. Heck, when I called Verizon about service plans I got 3 different answers from 3 different people.

Yea if its not oem outputs don't use it

Even though the charger is defective it still charges so I'm just going to use it and keep and eye on it until my replacement arrives.

Got my replacement today and there was a clear problem charger, this one doesn't make the noise the other one was making.
