The plug does not stay connected inside.I get a window saying that it is running on a dead battery.
I cannot afford to get a new computer yet.Any suggestions?3 responses

you can buy a new battery and you can put something in to make a stiff conect to keep cords in

you can try a simple tape but you will have to clean the oils from you hands off all conection spots so the tape will stick

Hi there,
You need to find someone trustworthy that works on computers on the side. If I were you, I would ask around. I have a man that works on my computers for very very cheap. It's like a hobby for him. He has saved my computer's life so many times. I have been having him work on my computers for so long now that if there is something major to be done, he will give me a loaner and also let me make payments. You did get some good suggestions above but it is still good to know someone like this.

Ram a matchstick in beside the plug to keep it in place. Download, ccleaner and malwatebytes, both are free and running them will speed up your computer.
all the best, urban
