The power outlet on my IC Power laptop is not functioning. When I plug in the power cord it is very loose. I used to have to move it around and prop it to get conection but that no longer works. I tried another power cord and it's the same. Presently I can't use the computer. Is this power outlet fixable? Is it a do it yourself? What about parts? I have a perfectly good computer that I cannot charge. Help. Thanks Jim

Hello,
so its most likely a problem with just the jax on the laptops end, you would have to take the unit apart entirely and re-solder the connector or replace it to a new one, you can find a replacement from ebay.
if you could post me the brand and model I'll take a look.
a repair shop will charge you 75$ minimum for the replacement, you can look up a matching power jack from ebay for less than 10$ and do it yourself if you have a soldering iron and know how to use one.
you have a strange brand / model laptop there, haven't seen many of these. I don't have a service manual for this machine as i've never heard of them before.
I can give you a service manual for almost any other brand, but not for this one, it is a major operation to take apart the entire laptop as thats the only way to get the motherboard out and to be able to touch the power jack.
if you've never taken anything apart, you will most certainly want to consider letting someone else do the whole thing. There will be a ton of screws and different parts that come out / off the laptop. it will be a puzzle to put back together without documentation or experience.
