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
