For the last 2 or 3 years my laptop has been in the loft because the power socket on the back of the laptop has broken away from the motherboard (i think) its cracked anyway. So with no way of charging it its been unusable. What i wondered was can it be fixed? Has anyone else had this problem or is the only solution a new motherboard which someone suggested to me ages ago?

Thanks

depends on what it is seeing as its 2/3 yrs old might cost more than its worth

It could be a simple soldering job for someone who knows what they're doing. Not sure how much good being in the loft will have done it though!

Yes that was why i didn't spend god knows how many hundreds the computer shop tried to rip me off for But its a good little laptop and i'd hate to have to bin it

Who should i take it to for repairs? local computer shop or let my bloke loose with a soldering iron?
