Thank you George. My intention is to sort out a replacement fairly soon and was intending to take it to the shop to see if it works with any of their cables. I borrowed a friend’s charger cable but couldn’t use it as the connectors are different, ditto all the cables on my old PC.
If it doesn’t work, then I’ll arm myself with a screwdriver and follow your instructions!
Many thanks for taking the time
