Laptop Problems

I own a HP Ze1250 Laptop and the 75w adaptor plug inside the laptop has come loose and its almost imposible to get it to work without keeping constant preasure in the adaptor. So my question is do you think this would be easy to fix? is it worth fixing myself or should i try and find someone to fix it for me?
 
The AC adapter plug is busted? Sorry, your question is a little vague...

If so, it's easy to fix (normally you just need to open up the laptop and solder the connector back into position) if you have the tools and some experience. If it's out of warranty, I'd try a computer or electronics/TV repair place. They could do it pretty cheap (~$50?).
 
Broken solder joints. It requires taking the laptop apart and simply resoldering the jack to the board. I've done it before, the person paid me $100, but I'd have done it for free 😛

Soldering is pretty simple, just use lots of flux to ensure the joint is solid. There's plenty of guides on Google.
