    I have a recently purchased (used) R60. It works great, but I have noticed in the last couple of days that the AC adapter is not making good contact with the socket in back of the laptop and when I move the laptop slightly (as in, sitting in my lap) the laptop beeps and stops charging. If I wiggle the adapter it makes contact again, beeps again and is now charging. The beeping is driving me nuts, and I have noticed that the socket seems to be a little loose in the laptop. The tip of the adapter seems fine, and it doesn't seem to be an internal break in the wire.

    Is replacing the socket an easy fix, or something a relatively handy owner can do with the help of a shopping trip to say, Fry's?
