    Hey guys I was wondering if any of you could be of assistance..
    I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop, and the small port for the charger cable is completly busted! Now I know I can't charge via USB or anything silly, but is there any alternate to charging through the regular port....
    Or is there any place where I can chop and solder the charger cable directly on to the main board?
    Thanks in advance, Ally

    He might be talking about the port inside the laptop? Well you can get either a new A/C adapter off ebay or that new charging port piece on ebay (requires solder). Last you can get a dock if your laptop has the ability.
