so back when www.internetishop.com was in business, I bought a HugeBee laptop from them

Centrino 1.7 80 gig Hdd, cdrwdvd etc


I have recently learned BOTH companies have gone out of busines....wtf

so the laptop is working good still, other than the power plug, it is very picky. I have to plug it into the laptop then like spin and fiddle with it for the screen to get brighter and it start charging. I dont think im gonna be able to buy a new battery for this thing either... is there anything i can do? save the parts? or what

Probably can get a shop to swap out the connector on the MB. That's probably a standard part. Heck, someone else probably sells that same computer under a different name.

I'm sure it's just a rebadged mass-produced model. As soon as you find out what it is, getting parts shouldn't be a problem. However your "warrenty" is toast.
