Laptop Power Trouble
My friend has a fairly old sony laptop and his battery really sucks so he has to plug it in to the AC adaptor but the jack for the AC adaptor is screwed up and he has to fidget with it to get it to run. How do you fix this?

Well, the easiest thing is to throw the laptop out and get a new one. You could replace the system board or solder on a new power jack, but both of those solutions are fairly complicated and technically advanced.
