One of the more popular articles I have written has been about the problems consumers have experienced with trying to get their Dell power adapter to stay connected. Even after bringing this problem to the attention of Dell advocates, it appears that the problem is for real and that people are still having problems. Well today I found an interesting repair article that has what appears to be a fix for the problem.

In viewing the fix article and supplemental pictures, this repair does take some minor skills and may best be left to a person who is mechanically inclined. Which means that you may need a friend, family member or crafty type person to assist you if you feel the mechanics is over your head.

I took a look at the step by step guide, and it appears you will need the following:

Plastic top from a can of coffee, hole punch, hole enlarger, 1/16″ drill bit and two screws.

Comments welcome.
