    I'm sure many of you are familiar with the problem the presario 2100 laptops have with the power plug. It is a common problem.
    Basically, the laptop will not get any power from the power supply when the adapter is plugged in. I started out having to wiggle the adapter near the laptops power supply. Now the laptop won't get any power. Its not a problem with the adapter, it has something to do with the laptops power supply. The laptop has turned into an expensive paper weight. I have completly taken the laptop appart and was wondering if anyone had any advise on how to fix the problem, if it is fixable. I'm not sure if a part can be replaced to fix the problem, or if I should just salvage the laptop for parts.
    Thank you for any advise
