| 875488 | 2010-04-12 09:48:00 | The power jack on these is a weak point I believe. www.howtofixcomputers.com not just your model but several others. the socket becomes loose where it is soldered to the motherboard. replacement of the motherboard or very skillful resoldering (maybe) are the only solutions if this is the issue. If you mainly use it at home you could try a HP expansion base this sends the power through the HP expansion port instead of the socket. I would check to see if it is still under warranty. |

| 875494 | 2010-04-14 02:07:00 | Thanks for the suggestions, I don't suppose anyone could suggest a repair shop in the north island I could send my laptop to? |
