The cord on the laptop's PSU plug (the small, hollow, cylindrical shape that plugs into the side of the laptop) is fraying were it enters the plug. It's possible to manoeuvre the cord to get the laptop to charge but it's going to fall apart soon.
New PSUs are available from Hong Kong on ebay for a fiver but past experience of cheap goods from HK hasn't been good and I'm concerned that the adaptor brick might damage the laptop with, for example, poor voltage regulation.
Is it possible to repair the plug? If I cut the cable, are spares available to solder/screw on?
TIA
