1323993 2013-01-21 19:52:00 Hi all,

I have a work colleague where his son's ~1yr old Acer laptop has an issue with the power connector - caused by carelessness with the cord, so not a warranty issue. He's recently moved to the Wellington (Hutt) & doesn't know any reputable repairers in the area. I'm much the same despite living here for years, because I've been able to do DIY repairs on my computers, but haven't had a really complex issue with a laptop so far, so I've never had to ask the question.

So can any of you local PF1'ers recommend a good place for him to go?

TIA,

Mushhead

Removing the socket and replace may or may not have been enough - gave her some other options.
