What laptop is it Lyn? I umm have a collection of useful wires accumulated over the years... I can't help it; it's my trade. I might have something that will do the job

A photo of the power pack label will help too
Thanks Linda but its an internal part I need - the plastic centre of the jack on the side that the cable connects to has snapped, so it won't hold the 'plug'(?) I have contacted a few spares companies who say they don't stock it but will try to track it down for me. Dell haven't even bothered replying! I will try ringing them on the weekend they can't ignore me then - I hope!

I have a couple of old dells lying round unused that can be taken apart if necessary. What's the model?

I think they're still a bit young for that at the moment. ;)
And I'm not sure marriage makes one behave any better.
Ow!
Sorry, wifey, yes it does.
Adam, it's Tidgy who has to decide, whether or not it's early.

Does marriage make one behave or not? Make your mind up!

It's all comparative.
Your temps will sound positively summery to our British and some of our American friends right now.:).
We've had what has been described as 'Tornados' destroy quite a few caravans in Clarach Bay near Aberystwyth and wreak havoc all over Wales and the Midlands today!!
The weather girl said they were squalls with 94 mph winds,

It's an Inspiron 17something - will have to check
but now you come to mention it we have a laptop graveyard in school with lots of Dells
I'll take mine in tomorrow and speak to the IT technician, maybe he can find me one.
But if not and you can help that would be great.
Thanks LInda

Yeah, it's um 'a feature' of us techs. We accumulate these graveyards. Ask your tech if they're on edugeek. If they are they'll know me by another name :)

I will do, that would be funny if we had a mutual acquaintance!

Our IT equipment all has to be returned to the LEA for decommissioning (another word for scraping rather than repairing):rolleyes:
They don't collect them very often though so we end up with a mountain of the stuff.
