Hello,
the power supply of a friends Acer netbook has the problem that the
cable breaks just at the coaxial power connector. This happens
frequently and takes just a couple of weeks after a repair. I have tried
to find the coaxial power connector (5,5x2,5) as a replacement part, but
all I could find was a plug like the one at the right side ofhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hohlstecker_und_Hohlbuchse_5,5x2,5.jpg
This plug lacks the spring of the original plug which prevents the
connection coming loose at the slightest movement.
What do you do in a situation like that? Do you know a source where I
could purchase the original coaxial power connector?

Thanks in advance

The Acer One in my possession has a right-angle plug (about 2 yrs
old). Also I bought a new battery ($32) so I'm not using it with the
charger attached. (Possibly, eBay has a charger for it with a right-
ange?)
