I had this problem on a different laptop I owned. I resoldered three times the plug to the motherboard. I finally ended up using the more radical soution of soldering wires to the motherboard instead, so I could put the plug outside the laptop with a gluegun in a position that avoids the torque. This extra trick may help. -- Yannick Delbecque Cogitateurs-Agitateurs - http://cogitateurs-agitateurs.org FACIL, pour l'appropriation collective de l'informatique libre - http://facil.qc.ca _______________________________________________ LinuxR3000 mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pcxperience.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxr3000 Wiki at http://prinsig.se/weekee/
