    Hi, my charging port seems to have broken. If I move the charging cable it momentarily stops charging.

    My question is, since they stopped producing the L501 a while ago would they replace it with a L502.

    As far as i know the L502 is only compatible with the 2nd gen processors.

    Has anything like this happened to anyone else.

    If they have the parts they will fix it, if not you sould get a replacement of equal or better specs.
