my daughters laptop (HP ze5700 ) has developed a charging problem
the pin in the center of the power jack seams loose, when you waggle it theres a few small flashes from the immediate area so i suspect its broken or the wires have come loose inside the PC
i have however located a replacement part in the states ( $18 inc p+p )
all i need to do is fatham out how to install it
it looks to me i will have to remove the back of the PC to gain access (this is new ground for me !!!
so my question is

1 is this fairly easy to do

2 any thing i should know before i start

3 should i just dump the lappy (PC world quoted £600 for the job )

4 any other way round the problem (would a docking station charge the battery )

all help and ideas gratefully appreciated
 
Don't recommend that you try it yourself, laptops are much more complex than computers as soon as you take off the cover (even that can be a bastard to do at times).

I'd either get shot of the laptop and get a new one or fork out the repair price, whichever is cheapest
