The power socket on my PowerBook is getting all loosy-goosy, such that the machine goes on battery power even when plugged in. Twisting the cord in its socket makes the connection… for now… but that can’t be good for the socket long-term.
Do I need to take this sucker in, or is there a do-it-yourself fix?

He querido más vivir en mi pequeña casa, exenta y señora, que no en sus ricos palacios, sojuzgada y cativa.
—Fernando de Rojas, La Celestina
(I prefer living in my little house, free and my own mistress, to living in their rich palaces, downtrodden and wretched.)
