How do I repair the power source on my laptop?
I have a Toshiba A105-S2001 laptop. When I plug the wall adapter in, I have to jimmy it around so the power source meets. Would this be an easy repair? I have no experience soldering but the few things I’ve read said that the problem could be right inside where it’s plugged in and may be loose. Can anyone shed some more light on what this could be or how I could fix it?
Sounds like a bad power jack.
Here’s a disassembly guide, for starters.
