 .the power supply goes into the jack pretty loosely and the laptop doesn't get any power. battery doesn't charge and the laptop won't turn on (since its out of batteries and can't run off the power cable cause its broken). i googled this problem and it seems like it's somewhat common and there's a chance i can fix it by opening up the laptop and trying to desolder/solder the jack on the motherboard. []try to fix it? []buy a new computer?   | ||

- problem is common - simple fix is well documented on the internet - no penalty for failure, since laptop is fucked anyway conclusion: can't be bothered even conducting a basic attempt. buy a new computer. | ||

It was pretty fun, and I fixed it eventually, but it wasn't rewarding in the slightest. EDIT: The reason? Keeping track of 30+ screws that you can barely even see is the gayest thing ever. | ||

The only real discouraging thing is if you are really bad at working with laptops (like I am, I have no idea how to even take one apart... I've only worked a little with desktops) in which case you try to bug a friend or someone else to help you :3 | ||

If I had not had a similar fear of mixing with the precious innards of a laptop, I would have supported intrigue. As it is, if it's screwed up now, it won't get much worse unscrewing it once I guess. (Lamest pun. Sorry.) GL | ||
