    How old is that laptop and how much does it retail for today, on the second hand market?

    Do you know anyone willing to solder and disassemble? When I did mine, I didn't really need a computer tech. They had nasty prices anyway. I found a guy that did mod chips. So I knew he was capable of doing small electronic work. I took apart the laptop so he could have access to the parts he needed, and I provided the parts he would need for the repair. I know I've said this too many times. Still I don't picture Pookashell taking apart her computer, even with the instructions.

    Maybe you can beguile a guy to do it for you? Otherwise get the price on same model used but working, and get it and swap the hard drive and memory with yours and there you go.

    Check around computer repair places. Often they buy pallets of used computers from government and state agencies. You should be able to find a replacement in no time.

    I tried my friends cord and it was still a little weird about staying in but much better. Now my cord isn't working at all. I'm thinking maybe gabby chewed on it or something, she's ruined a few phone chargers. Its about 20 bucks to get a brand new cord on Ebay. I think I'll just do that.

    ^^ have a best buy near you? most Geek Squads have a multi meter and someone that knows how to use it. That is all you need to test your power cable, Just need to probe the positive and negative ends of the cable.

    Sometimes the plug is so loose it will come off or jiggle.
