> Hi all,
>
> I am after a replacement power socket for the Acer Aspire 1315LC.
>
> So far, I have contacted numerous suppliers (including Acer) and have
> been quoted redicilous prices (Ł129 +vat) for the part, due to the
> fact this can only be carried out as an Acer authorised repair. This
> will mean sending the whole machine back and paying labour for the
> dismantling of the machine.
>
> I have already taken the laptop apart and have removed the socket from
> the motherboard - I just need the replacement socket which I would
> imagine costs about Ł0.50 ukp.
>
> Has anyone experienced similar or can anyone point me in the right
> direction of a supplier who may be able to assist?
>
> Even if anyone could tell me the exact type of socket and its size
> that would be extremely helpful.
>
> Many thanks in advance.
