power cord made to break
I have a compaq presario 2100. I am looking for an adapter for the power supply where it goes into the machine. Mine is long and hooks into the mother board. If it bends at all it bust the mother board and your screwed. I know because my last laptop busted in this way. I am looking for a flat adapter so this won't happen. Does anyone know of anyone making such a device? The place that sold me this machine told me the companies do this on purpose so the machines will break and you will have to buy a new one. In fact they have big signs everywhere that says "DO NOT TILT MACHINES OR YOU BUY IT!!!" Whatever, the design is stupid and could be corrected with a bent or angeled adapter so it does not stick out 2 inches. If you know of a fix for this problem please email me. Thanks.
