    the charger that originally came with the laptop burnt out and a new charger was obtained from the store I got the laptop but the fit was not snug and the charger wobbled in the port. In order for my laptop to keep a charge I had to hold it a certain way so that the charger went in at an angle. It worked for a while but then the port itself got loose and it seems that the middle rod thingie that fits into the charger is also coming loose. Theres hardly any computer repair shops, its been dead for 2 years, dont have the money to repair it, anyone got an idea?
