If it snapped, you'd probably have to solder a new one onto the motherboard.
In which case, it might be easier to get a new computer.

Im really tempted to try to fix it if I didnt think I would brake it more, its just like, where you stick the charger in the piece somehow became unatached to the exterior of the laptop and is just inside the casing, so theoretically if I managed to get at it it would be fine....But this happened before when it was under warranty, dunno if it still is....I should probably tell my parents.......Fail.

To chiri, I REALLY hope I dont have to do that!...Dont think I do, does what I described above change what you said?

I posted it on youtube hoping someone would know why it happened.
My voice sounds so weird.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Is it the little pin that sticks out of the socket where you plug the charge in? If it's that then you won't be able to fix it other than solder a new one on.

It would probably have been ether the voltage tripler or the flyback transformer that gave in. Since parts for monitors aren't readaly available, you'd most likely have to get a new monitor. And most PC repair places don't have people with the skills to fix it ether, since most are just newpartfitters.

And your voice doesn't sound weird tough ;p
