Charger shuts off radio

When I plug in my lap top charger in the same room with the radio it shuts off the reception but if I move the lap top and charger to another location in the camper the radio works just fine...
  • You can try a different power supply
    Get one of the universal after market supplies for the laptop

    Different TVs have different quality and sensitivity
    My HP laptop is less than a foot from my Visio TV
    Both are plugged into the same power strip
    I can watch the news while working this forum

    If it's an inconvenience to charge the laptop someplace else
    I would get another charger for it

    If that doesn't work?
    Your options are limited, replace one or both TV and laptop
    Or keep charging in separate rooms

    I'm assuming you would like to use the laptop with charger while in the same room with the TV

    Depends on the charger Most likely the problem is that your labtop's charger is a switching power supply, these can be electronically "Noisy" and can cause RFI. There are solutions.. But the simplest one is plug in in a different room.
  • With us it's the microwave and the TV.
    If I stand in between, blocking, it works fine
