Whenever I plug my charger into my laptop, it starts crackling after a little bit. When being plugged in for a lot longer, it so loud I can hear it from the garden. Is this normal, or is my charger faulty?
 


Will do. That's being thrown out in the morning then. And, while I'm at it, I'll find a way to chuck the bloated battery.
