Bwah. Can't take it anymore.

The laptop I'm borrowing from Kate - the power problem is ridiculous. It's just not convenient anymore - the laptop, I mean. If I want to use it, it HAS to be on my lap, so my leg can press on the cord and put pressure on the dongle. Cause something is wrong with the socket. My brothers are pretty sure the socket is buggered.

I mean. WHERE do you buy a socket? For a really old laptop? I don't even know where to begin to find one.

Way to make a girl feel crazy. Oh well. I can deal, I really can. The other thing is that it's really heavy and it presses down on my stomach. It kinda hurts. So I have to put it on my hips, it's not so bad. I can deal with that.

My brother Paul was all, "If you get the replacement part, then I can fix it. If not, all I can do is fuse the cord to the power input, which might screw it." Yeah. So there's not much I can do.

I really like sitting on the couch under the air conditioner and typing up my story. It's so relaxing down in the lounge. The window box is pretty and the couch is comfy as hell.

I took codeine again cause I was hurting so bad. I feel like such a fucking junky.

btw, it'd be nice if you let me know what you were planning before you do it.

Dude, I wasn't going to do it cause it's not my laptop. I'm just going to buy a new one.

Yeah, I want to make it clear again - my brother was just saying those were my options. I wasn't planning to do ANY of those things, and I'm just at the researching phase at the moment. Of course I'd talk to you before I did anything huge to it.

I figured as much, just kinda freaked me out a bit :)

Sorry I wasn't clearer - didn't mean to freak you out! :)

I know quite a bit about getting electronics parts etc - I might be able to help. Laptop parts are sometimes standard parts, sometimes not, depending on manufacturer and model.

If it was me, I'd probably look for a broken one on ebay and cannibalise it for parts, but that still might be a bit more than you want to pay.

Well, if you wanted to pop by and have a look, you're more than welcome to.

Could you help me find the right part? Cause I have NO idea where to find it. The problem piece is the power socket, where the ac plug goes. Could you help me with that?
