    Angry Compaq 1600s Power to laptop

    My compaq laptop 1600s connection to the adaptor power supply comes of and on. I found the connection is loose but can not get to the connector from inside the computer. I could not detach the screen which seems to be the only way. Pls help.

    Do you mean the connector on the back of the laptop that the DC adaptor plugs into is loose ?

    If so, it will probably just need a touch of solder to tighten it back up, which is an easy task if you feel comfortable tearing the laptop apart and removing the motherboard. If not, get it to a qualified shop, I'm guessing it would be somewhere around an hour's worth of labor. I did this exact thing for a coworker's Toshiba a few months ago.

    http://docs.hp.com/en/personalcomputing.html may have a PDF showing how to take the unit apart

    If you are unable to take it apart yourself I would suggest taking it to an authorized service centre. They may be able to just re-solder the power connection.
