The socket is not so good these days. The lead is very lose in the socket.

Can you get the socket replaced in the back of the machine? Would rather do that than get a new lappy

No, really?!

I would have thought most computer shops could do it.
Not sure about PCWorld or Currys - I was thinking of proper shops.

Would not bother with PCWorld. Just wondered if it was something that could be done. If so I will check out some places. Someone in work has a small local place she takes hers to.

They also die if you leave them in the freezer.

Don't think lappy plugs have pins, at least the three I've had didn't.

Try a local independant computer shop. Pc world will try to sell you a new laptop.

When there's a knock at the door, why do dogs always think its for them?
