Port Broken

Greetings All -
The little pin in the DC power jack on my HP laptop has broken. It's an old 5yr old computer that I got second hand for $150. Would it be easier to get a new laptop than to fix it?

Hello.

We have a great tech team whom shall be with you soon to help you.

Hi,
What is your configuration ?

Hi -

I think it's Windows XP. I cannot check because the laptop no longer has a charge and cannot be started.

Hi, i asked for your configuration, not OS

RAM, Graphic, Processor ?
