We've actually been quoted about $90 for the repair, but I was wondering if there were anything I could do about this laptop. We're not quite sure what is wrong, but we believe the pin, port, and the end of the charge cord has completely screwed up because of us tripping over the wire and whatnot.
The bit of the charge cord you put into the laptop looks rough and feels worse, plus once the laptop is on for a while it starts to smell burnt. The metal bit of the charger that you put into the computer gets very hot (it even burns my fingers) from trying to charge because the connection keeps going loose or something and reconnecting, etc...
It's an ASUS laptop, couple years old, in good condition otherwise. We just really don't want to update to 8 until they have the start menu back in, so any advice/help on how to make the damn thing not blink AC MODE BATTERY MODE AC MODE BATTERY MODE all the time would be great. Hopefully we can get it fixed soon.
