RE: Fixing my Acer laptops temperamental power socket/cable

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

What happens if it gets really hot and the plastic you wedged melts? ;)

I wish I had the balls to open things up like this. I have a couple old laptops I don't use anymore, so perhaps I should get digging around through them. I can't do anything else with them anyway.

I did wonder about that but this plastic should withstand heat. Might open it up and check in a few days to see if there is any signs of melting plastic.

The best way to learn is with kit you don't care about busting. Take photos often and work on a flat surface with space and good light.

I imagine that if it gets hot enough to melt the plastic, you have bigger issues.

"flat space and good light" are in short supply at this house at the moment :D

Yep, and a bit of heat could glue them into place :)

Man-cave last on the list?

Yep, and probably a couple years away. It will be a princess palace before that.
