A week ago, my 3 year old Averatec laptop's charger died on me. Not the note book, the charger. I thought the metal wire inside was broken, so I ordered another one. Now I find how how much of a pain it is to find accessories for small brand electronics. Futureshop, where I bought this laptop, no longer carries this brand. So I found a charger claiming to be compatible on Amazon. Opps, doesn't ship outside US. Then manufacturer's website, still no luck. I finally bought one on eBay, and it's now shipped. But the estimated shipping time was 22 days. Sigh...
They say you only realize how important something is until you loses it. It's true in the case of my laptop. Being the only one in my computer class who doesn't have a laptop is not fun. After a few uncomfortable classes, I attempted to fix it. Turns out it's the metal contact on the top of the connector that got worn out. No wires were broken. So I cut away a bit of plastic, and it's now possible to connect it as long as I apply a bit of pressure at all time. Anyways, I just made the attempt of fixing it. Will have updates and pictures soon.
