One of our customers emailed us to inform us of your predicament when they bumped into your blog and our image. Isn't that funny?! The fist belongs to one of our technicians here- we just showed him your post and we all got a good laugh! He hasn't seen the pic in years. Anyways, we see a lot of 6400 laptops in here. We will be happy to do a free diagnostic on it if you send it in. Often the power jack is bad which is something we fix for $149. Or it may be toast. If that were the case we could back up your data and/or buy the laptop for parts. As a final option you could stick the hard drive into an external enclosure to get at your data. Thanks!

I apparently fried the bee-jeezus out of my internal power source from plugging the laptop into the wall socket without the use of a surge strip, according to the tecchie at my job. I don't think he knows what he is talking about, Man,

About a year ago I was walking down the stairs and tripped carrying my laptop. It was save the laptop or myself and I saved myself. Now my laptop is immobile because the screen hinges are broken. It has to stay in one place the screen can be propped up. It still works, but what fun is a laptop if you can't take it with you? I keep hoping the laptop fairy will visit me, but so far she hasn't. I wouldn't mind if the camera fairy visited either since my DSLR died as well. No money for that either. Oh well. Sorry to hear about your computer.

I found an adapter on this particular website that was half the price of Dell's ( $30 versus $69). A friend told me these laptops all have problems with the cords and internal power mechanisms, so thanks for the good juju. BTW- my Dell desktop rocks, and it's six years old. ( Oh snap as I frantically search for a piece of wood to knock on!) ;-) Damn muther-scratcher of a computer!

I worry about my desktop computer because it's also a Dell and I know they're not exactly known to live long past their warranty date. I hope it's only a power cord.
