There's power to the brick (green LED) but when plugged into the laptop....nothing. I'm assuming that the power connection inside the laptop has broken. Probably just a simple soldering job, but I know nothing about soldering, or much about the inside of a laptop.
(It still boots and runs A-OK. 17min batt remaining).
Does anyone know a reputable laptop repairer in Kent / East Sussex ? Otherwise it's PCW. <shudder>
