Hi Find a local computer enthusiast who is good with a soldering iron! I say this after fixing a friend's Toshiba laptop with a similar connector problem. The difficulty is that many laptops are really difficult to take apart, and usually end up with a small pile of leftover bits when reassembled. Fortunately in this case the problem was no more that a duff connection, but if it had needed new parts or had broken during disassembly, it would have been for the bin. You might find someone in a local TV repair shop - best to look in untidy, old fashioned looking shops - where the real tinkering skills still exist. bye for now Keith Cooper =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
