-- Posted by yoshiness at 9:08 pm on Nov. 3, 2008 My dad took the laptop apart to possibly fix the AC connector. Well, I think he broke it. Touching the edges will sometimes cause an electrical shock/pulse. Any tips to help fix it besides get a new laptop? -- Posted by basketballbabe15 at 9:09 pm on Nov. 3, 2008 u need a new one -- Posted by soldierofjustice3 at 2:28 am on Nov. 4, 2008 More than likely, your going to need to have a qualified tech take a look at it, something like that is a rather serious repair. -- Posted by Dickij03 at 6:42 pm on Nov. 8, 2008 I get this with my inspiron ever since we purchased it... Nothing to worry about.
