Studio 1558 Laptop Adapter Suddenly Died?
I was using my laptop, with the power cord inserted into a wall socket. Suddenly, the computer decides to restart itself, and is also not accepting more power from that cord. Having tried a different cord, which worked, I deduce that the cord is at fault here, but is there no way I can get it fixed cheap? This being my fourth power cord, I don't really want to buy another one.
(Dell sure has crappy design when it comes to part longetivity.)
