*sigh*
Second time I've had this problem. Second brand laptop too.
The DC power jack on the back of my laptop won't connect with the power cord. It wiggles around in the socket, such that when I push the plug in, it moves away. It took pushing the plug in and holding it tight against the case to have the battery light come on, only to watch it go out when I released the plug.
Rest of the components run fine. Just this darn power problem.
This laptop: Dell M1710 XPS laptop
Anyone know if this is an expensive fix? Should I just retrieve the hard drive and declare it dead?
Thanks for your help!
