Are you sure that charger is dead. Sounds like you have broken solder joint in laptop charger socket.
You need multimeter/voltmeter to test if charger is dead - just measure voltage from charger plug when it is connected to mains. Little bit smell does not indicatete that it ti dead.
I have fixed dead charger (broken solder joint) and bad charger socked in laptop side - again broken solder joint. Most common reason to get flickering (charging, not charging)
