    The power cord keeps falling out of my Dell 1720. The power supply quit a couple months ago, and the new one still falls out like the old one. I am wondering if it is an issue with the actual power jack. I see them on ebay, but have no idea what it would take to replace it, any one have an idea?

    It is soldered onto the motherboard. Most tech shops should be able to do the work, and the DC input jack is pretty cheap.
