I had been using a charger that was not the original one and it fizzled the other night & smoke came out the back of the ASUS A6M series laptop...the plastic surround got hot & is slightly misshapen also. A friend opened it up to have a look and says the power supply board is loose so even a charger that is correct for the laptop is now not reaching.

If you know if this could be fixed and how much it would cost I'd appreciate it.
