i have an acer aspire 4520 and had it sitting on a kitchen table my nephew ran by tripped on the cord it rapped around his leg and he pulled my laptop off the tbale it landed in the chair. I had to have the hard drive replace afterwards for some reason it wiped everything out the laptop wouldnt even power up.

Nice. After smashing my wife’s dell to the floor I google similar situations to try to estimate the damage. First result? Douchebag trying to say it doesn’t happen to score points against Apple. You rock asshat!

It could be that you can’t do it with a PC because many PC laptops are heavier than a PowerBook or iBook. In my experience, it happens quite often with Apple’s super-light portables.

I am in the process of trying to convert my vaio into the magnet DC power, since my dog tore the cord out (braking the DC jack) and the computer fell to the ground as well. Sony laptops are horribly made. There is no critique you could make of apple which could come close to the opinion i hold of vaio’s pile of s*@t.

Hi, this actually happens a lot. The T41 already has a nice smart jack built into it that is a separate peice from the motherboard- IBM started that w/ the T40s back in 2002. =) Toshibas, HP/Compaq, Gateway, Sony, etc, etc, usually break fairly easily though- the tiny power jack is usually held in place on the motherboard with just a few tiny pins. A good yank to the side will snap the plug. Where I work we fix these every day- a pagee of our website is dedicated to info on power jacks- I’ll leave the link here.
