Hi guys, I have a old acer laptop which I have been using for school for the last year and half. I was using Ubuntu on it and it was running fine. However, now the power does not come on.
It is not the adapter or battery as I tested it. I took it to a local computer repair shop to test more adapters of same kind and test my adapter on another laptop to find out that it was not the problem. The shop guy told me that it was the part in that laptop where the adapter actually plugs in (sorry i dont know the name). He said I would need to resolder that part as it became loose and was a common problem amongst laptops.
I am wondering if you may have experienced such a problem or can suggest a solution. I will try calling acer on monday as they don't answer on weekends.
I really don't want to spend money on another laptop as I don't have the money because of school
. If i can get this one alive it would be awesome. Oh and it is a Acer Travelmate 2413
THank you for any help.
