I have about a three year old dell inspiron laptop (which is awesome contrary to what the fanboys will say). For the past few days, I am having problems with my laptop’s power adapter. I have to push /bend the power adapter onto the laptop’s power connector port for the adapter to work. I tried replacing the adapter and I still have the same issue. So i am guessing something’s wrong with this laptop’s power input thing.

Anyways, I am getting a new laptop and passing this on to my mom who will be using it as a desktop. So lets say if i got a dock to replace the power ports, would that solve the power problems. Any other ideas as to how I can solve the adapter issues.
