[TECH] Internal Power Supply

[Kulick [memeticsystems.com]]

List -

I have an unusual problem and would appreciate any advice on to whom or
with whom I might find a solution.  I have a older generation Ti boook
(667 w/ gigabit ethernet, 1st one in that catagory), which due to
unfortunate circumstances had the power cable forcibly ripped out of the
back damaging the internal connector (this in the laptop, not the little
transform and cord you plug into the wall, but the jack on the PC where
DC power is supplied).  As a result the external power supply cannot
feed power to the laptop (tried friends AC adapters and they do not work
either) and I am forced to use an external battery charger to use the
laptop (cannot go to AC power).

I was wondering if anybody else has done this, I am sure it must happen
occassionaly, and if they know where I can secure a replacement P/S from
a third party?  I am very mechanically inclined and could easily replace
it myself.  Even a repair shop that you have had success with for this
particular problem would be welcome.  Every repair shop I call seems to
have a very NOT BRIGHT person in their service department as they insist
on trying to sell me a AC adapter to fix my problem.

No I do not have Apple Care which doesn't cover this problem anyway.

Sincerely,

Aaron D. Kulick
