A few months ago there was glorious sunshine which let me sit outside in the garden doing work. These days, in August, which is meant to be the hottest month, we have had some immense downpours and very little "good weather" to write home about. :(

It seems that my laptop's power supply fault has reached another level. The Charging Pin has fallen out and now I have no way to charge it.
For the last two years or so, the pin in the centre of the hole where you put the charging plug in has been sort of loose. It would not stay in the middle. This caused some problems whilst it was not the end of the world - I could simply just hold the laptop upside down so that the pin was in the right place, insert the charger, turn the laptop the right way up and then fiddle around so it got a good connection.
However, a few days ago I got a nasty suprise; it stopped charging. I picked the laptop up to investigate and heard a rattling.
Not good.
My ageing laptop is somewhat trademarked:

For the record the sticker on the top right represents a sailing boat and stands for GDSC Glossop and District Sailing Club.
On the left of it is a sticker from the Free Software Foundation, in the top left is one from LUG Radio, between it and the Bad Vista sticker is a GPLv3 sticker. In the middle the GNU's head and the GNU + Linux sticker both represent GNU, whilst the sticker on the bottom right is from DefectiveByDesign.
What ever they tell you, you can never have enough stickers.
Is your laptop anything like as stickered as mine?
