Notebook's battery wont charge... HELP!

I wasn't sure where to post this but I thought here might be okay... I also posted it in the Acer section but I haven't gotten really any feedback yet...

An unfortunate incident occurred this past weekend where my grandmother was near my laptop and knocked it onto the ground... and my guess is that it landed right where the AC adapter plugs into the computer because the little plug that goes in was a little bit bent...

Now that this has happened, I also realized that when I look inside of the hole to where it plugs into the computer, that little pin that the cord connects to inside there wiggles and moves around. I try to stick the adapter in and it will not charge the battery anymore, therefore leaving my computer useless at this current time.

Does anyone know a way to fix it or should I just part with it and sell it as is on ebay or something. - I do have another laptop but I'd still like to get this one fixed due to the fact that I used it more than the one I'm using now (a new HP with vista on it... once i get rid of vista, then this one will become my main computer).

Also, does anyone know that if it can not be fixed easily or cheap, can I take the hard drive and put it in my friend's EXACT same model Acer laptop to take everything off the hard drive that I want and reformat it on that machine?

Please let me know... it will greatly be appreciated. PM me if you want...

Thanks,

Paul
