There are two common types of noise that a phone charger emits: hum or whine, and buzz or scratch. A hum or whine, also known as “coil whine”, is emitted by an electronic part vibrating as power runs through which generally cannot be gotten rid of. Meanwhile, a buzzing sound is caused by a defective or failing capacitor which is a potential fire hazard.
While possibly irritating, a coil whine is harmless. However, you may opt to replace it if you are bothered by it.
To replace the Razer Phone charger, follow the steps below:
-
Ensure the noise is coming from the charger by plugging it into other power outlets.
-
If the noise does not occur when plugged into another power outlet, then it is the faulty power outlet emitting the sound, have it repaired by an electrical professional.
-
-
Once confirmed that the noise is coming from the charger, contact Razer Support to process the replacement.
