    My Compaq V2000 looks like it has got a wobbly AC pin.Could break off anytime .The AC adapter plug is straight on instead of at right angles as in my previous HP omnibook.This puts additional shearing stress on it.
    What if the pin breaks inside the plug ? How expensive to replace/or will it need new motherboard?

    It's probably under warranty isn't it?
