    Hello Everyone,

    Sadly, my G73's power plug seems to be broken. It is loose in the socket and not charging the unit. My friends power supply (he has the same model), charges the unit normally. I am ordering the Targus replacement trough Centrix, but I won't get it for a few days, and in the meantime I wanted to mend the cable. Does anyone know what model replacement connector I could get at Radioshack or Microcenter that I could splice to the unit as a temporary fix? I'd prefer to replace the original rather than stripping the plastic off and trying to solder the connection.


    Thanks so much!
