Broken lappy
6 Answers
I dropped my lappy the other day. Obviously damaged the pin inside the power supply. Briefly, the lappy has a pin in the socket and the power supply slots onto that. Anyone know how expensive it is to have this fixed? Or should I back the data up and go and buy a new one pronto?!

Bednobs, the pin is still attached to the inside of the machine (just). It will charge now I have taped the power supply in a particular position - but that is only a temp fix.

Looks like an easy one, it's on a fly lead inside so no soldering... you may even be able to do it yourself...... <goes checks>

Hmmm, it looks like it would involve a total split of the laptop, which in itself isn't that big a job but not something I'd recommend doing to somebody unless they had experience of stripping laptops...
If you still lived down this area I'd do it for about £25 (+part) so I'd expect a decent independent shop would do it for about £50
Service manual is here if you want to have a look
