Samsung laptop rv510 - Not charging

[Wall]

Hey guys,

Anyone know where I can repair this laptop? The charging pin on the laptop is damaged. When I connect my charger to the laptop it doesnt charge but when I move the cable it starts to charge.

Im in the Durban area...

check google first. a computer shop told me I should just buy a new laptop when my Toshiba stopped charging. I was like :wtf:. got a part for R250. replaced the charging pin using two youtube videos. first time I performed open heart surgery on a laptop. changed the charging pin. was always afraid to work on a laptop but its not that complicated.

sweated a bit though.

I googled and found a samsung repair centre in durban but I think they may be quite exorbitant.

If I get the part, I got a buddy who will do the repair...

Any idea where I can get the part?

Also, What would be the correct terminology for that part?

link to site?

My friend reckons he can do the job with a similar part. ( ie. another broken laptop of a different brand and model... ) not keen on that option though.

Thanks bro, I've placed my order with 'em. Total came up to R260 including delivery fees.

Now, I wait...

Geez, R260 seems steep for something that should not cost more than R50 at most.

If you were close by I would also do it for you.

Thanks Ponder. I've spoken to my buddy and he will sort it out. I'm dropping it off this afternoon.

and Yeah, it was imported which is why it came to R260. Didn't know of any local retailers who stock the part...

Locally they just say 'buy another laptop'
