Dropped my laptop ... Still works but the hole where the plug wire goes in, the lead doesn't stay in as tightly, if I touch it, it falls out. Awkward as my battery is finished and I use the plug attachment all the time ... Can I do anything about it ? Sorry about the non use of technical terms here folks !

That's what happened, the lid hinge came out on the side where the plug is connected. I pushed it back in, but now I have this problem.
Can you claim for accidental damage then, smurfchops?
sellotape in the meanwhile ?
Try looping a rubber band around the plug then stretch the rest of the rubber band across the laptop.
I know it's smaller but I did this on my Grandaughters mobile phone and it worked fine.

The laptop battery died six months ago so I use the plug all the time. I have decided to take a chance with a new battery from Amazon, so fingers crossed. I think the plug point will stay in just to charge the battery up, we will see ...
