- Help! My T1000SE is having a problem, and before I spend big (or even
- little) bucks on repairs, I'd like to know if it's possible to
- do-it-yourself. I'm no Mrs. Fix-it, but I did install my own modem in this
- T100SE.
-
- The problem: The socket where the AC adapter plug goes into the laptop is
- loose. The connection doesn't always make contact. This is messing up the
- battery. As I type this, for example, the thing is plygeed in, but thered
- light isn't one. I have to jiggle it to get the contact to work. I hate to
- jiggle it too much cause I know I'm probably working it loose. The battery
- now holds a charge for about 15 minutes. I sed to get way over 3 hours off
- a charge, sometimes 4.
-
- Do you think this is an open-the-case-and-tighten-the-screws type repair, or
- should I go to the Toshiba dealer for a professional repair?
-
- E-mail or posted replies are welcome--whatever you prefer.
-
- Many thanks!
