This is apparently a known problem with hp Pavilion notebooks. The round little (ac converter) power input jack plugs into a connector on the computer. The receptacle on the computer is apparently soldered onto the motherboard and only that solder mechanically holds it to the computer, no fitting on the case. When you often unplug and plug the power input jack, it works loose eventually. Then the solder contact probably is broken on the motherboard. When I have a fully charged battery, the computer runs ok. The battery connector is separate all together.
Any ideas to give it the DC power it needs without removing the motherboard and resoldering the connector? Is it practical for example to take apart an old dead battery and rig a DC power source to the batter connector?
And yes I can also buy a new computer.

Well I wish I could tell you anything other than, FIX THE JACK. That really is the correct thing to do. This is a common problem with nearly every make of notebook. The only real repair is to take it apart, remove the old connector, and put a new one in its place.
Yes you can rig it, at the risk of more damage etc. But why, just have the connector replaced.

that is kinda no longer hassle-free to % out your concern, yet sine I be bothered by a similar concern on a HP NX6110, i might say that's the enter socket on the workstation, which gets broken by the years. Mine survived a marvelous 4-5 years, it incredibly is a miracle by ability of itself. i don't comprehend once you got the workstation, however the guarantee would desire to conceal issues like those, in case you nevertheless have been given it.

Taking apart a laptop is fraught with danger... the components tend to be jammed in tight, and getting them all back in again can be fun... but remaking the internal connection is the only really satisfactory route.
If you're not comfortable with doing it yourself, the best advice I can give you comes in two parts...
1) don't even try!
2) Check your local phone book for somebody who does notebook repairs.
If all else fails, drop me a line privately... I'm not allowed to advertise my company, but we may have a branch near you :-)
