Power supply/Power Adapter
Hi, I bought an Acer laptop (Aspire5050/3050) almost a year ago, and just lately it wouldn't connect to the AC adapter. I figured it was the cord so I cut it open and retaped the wires (I know I shouldn't of.. but I did.) Then I pluged it back in and it seemed to work if I held the cord in the correct spot.
So I went out to find out how much a new cord would be and thats $130 and thats about 1/4 the price of the computer. Anyways, my question is.. if its not my cord how much would a new or a repair on the computer power thingy be?

Welcome to CTH
If you plug the charger in and have to hold it, maybe at an angle and it works then the AC /DC plug on the motherboard is the problem, not the cord. This is a problem with many laptops. The AC/DC connector can be replaced, under $10 bucks if you can solder and take the lappy apart. A little more if you have to send out. Looks like this:
