RE: Fixing my Acer laptops temperamental power socket/cable

Well done. It is so satisfying to take care of something yourself instead of turning it over to someone else to fix for you. I've pulled apart 4-5 laptops over the years to replace everything from the hinges that broke in a fall, to the trackpad, to hard drives. I wish they made some of the components (like that fan) more accessible for home repair. But they really don't want you to repair them, they want you to decide the laptop is dead and buy a new one.

Cheers! I am pretty chuffed, feels like a got a new laptop yesterday.
I think so, and it applies to so many things these days. Hopefully this one will do me a few more years and still be OK to sell/hand over to someone in need/be a backup.
