I wonder if anyone can help - I have an HP Pavilion laptop, bought in Italy about 5 years ago - the computer itself seems ok still, but it keeps switching itself off and I think this is due to a bad connection with the charger (the battery gave up the ghost long ago). I tried a new charger (supposedly offical HP one but I have my doubts) bought on ebay but it doesn't work at all. Does anyone have any experience of this - is it worth trying another new charger or could it be something more sinister wrong with the laptop itself or perhaps the internal connection to the power supply? I'm hoping I don't have to end up buying a new laptop but can solve this another way.

It could be a poor internal connection, and that possibly requires a resolder or replace of the mains socket on the laptop itself, not expensive or difficult to do. If it's not that then it could be the failure of the power supply interface (possibly the power board if your laptop uses one) but having that repaired would be cheaper than getting a new laptop.

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
    • I'm not talking about Starmer. I was responding to a post which  said that  Corbyn was unelectable. How people voted in the "more hotly contested election" is irrelevant. Corbyn wasn't leading the Labour Party then. Starmer was. And the turnout for Labour reflects that.
