OT: Acer power plug

[KE7FEG]

The metal one, not the ac type, but the result of the
'floor/table wall wart' type. There is a
transformer/ps that plugs into the wall then extends
to the plug.

Like I said, it just 'falls' out almost. Trying to
convince the 'bitter, er, better?' half that NOT
wasting time sending it back and just gerry rigging or
whatever is the 'prudent' thing. Who knows when and
even IF it will be fixed and she would be without till
then. She is now as she wont let me 'fix' it now.

Having done many 'projects' electronically, I cannot
wonder why she doesn't trust me on just cutting off
the plug and putting a new one on. Wont void any
warrantee, as long as the correct voltage is at the
corredt pins of the new end...welll, maybe on the ps
part, but NOT the laptop, and that is the important
part with the most failures, hehehe.

Oh, well.
