This is the second toshiba laptop I've owned that developed the same
problem: within less than a year, a part inside that hooked up the
power chord to some other part inside jiggled out of place, requiring a
couple of weeks in the factory to fix. My first computer was fixed,
just to break down in the same way less than six months later.

I know I'm not the only one with this problem. Is there anything on a
grand scale going on to address the problem? I believe that Toshiba
knowingly shipped faulty computers in order to make more of a profit.

If you really want to do something about this, design a power plug that can
be easily and inexpensively attached to a motherboard in such a way that it
is difficult to break it off, and then put together a company to
manufacture and market such a device, and I suspect that if it really works
Toshiba will become one of your major customers.

Simple fact is that you can break the connector loose on just about any
brand of laptop. If you were going to start a class-action suit it would
have to be against the whole laptop industry.
