Yep, had a beauty of an ultra-lightweight notebook (DELL X200) that cost me over $2k, darn thing died and stopped being my primary web-use laptop only because the charging plug on the laptop died.
I even took it apart and attempted to hard-wire (solder) the charger to the mobo where the charge plugs went and I couldn't do it because I suck at soldering Was such a nice laptop too.
lol I have an HP notebook with an athlon mobile XP that I took apart and soldered wires on to the broken power socket. I also melted the plastic so as to seal the wires onto the side of the chassis for strain relief. It still works as a decent movie player. But the kids ripped all the keys out and it dont got wifi so it isnt very useful all in all.
