Title: Laptop advice
Post by: psychnurse on 06 August 2008, 13:29:07
My lappy is on one!! Not amused!

It appears that the charger will not charge it (tried twiddling with the end) which sometimes gives it a bit of a flash but nowt!

Any ideas before I order a new charger? It is seriously interfearing with my OOF time... and that will never do  ::) ;D

Think the Mrs is happy with being spoken too for a change mind you  ;D

The charger sockets often come loose from the boarsd inside. Does it show any life when you wiggle the plug?

Sounds bang on.  Just had to solder mine back on, had the exact same symptoms.
