Dell laptop power cable always falls out!


I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 laptop, about 18 months old.


The problem is that the power cable keeps on falling out. It's just sitting on a desk, but minor movement can cause it to come out.


From a browse on the internet, it seems to be a reasonably common problem with Dell laptops, but there didn't seem to be any decent solutions.


Any ideas for how to fix it properly, or a "workaround"?



Answer



The cable one day happened to end up such that it came out of the laptop, then went at a right angle and from there off the table.


It used to go straight out of the laptop and off the table, and regularly fall out.


With the new arrangement, it has never fallen out! So this accidental low-tech arrangement seems to work very well.
