    After a bit more than two years, my HDX16 has gotten a problem with the ordinary power jack.
    At first I thought it might be the jack itself - bought a new one and replaced the old one (compared to other HP laptops - it sure was a lot of steps to go through to get to the power jack itself...). No luck. :(

    I also have an XB4 docking station - and the quickdock connector there gives power to the laptop. So, I know that at least that part of the power supply works internally.
    I'd like to be able to use the laptop more mobile than now, and have been searching the net as good as I can for getting either a charger with a quickdock connector, a quickdock adapter for an ordinary charger, or a separate quickdock contact (with a wiring diagram) - but no results yet.
    Does anyone here know if it's possible to buy any of these things?

    Regards,
    Bjorn
