Was good, but now dead

I bought this computer new back in 2004. The dvd player was replaced twice in the first 6 months but has been trouble free until now. The power cord was becoming loose and was falling out all the time. The battery is dead (to be expected after 4 years I guess) but now the machine won't take any power. I just get this weird clicking noise coming from somewhere inside the machine.
Overall the machine has served me well and functioned as a web surfing computer in our living room. It is very heavy and I hate dragging it around with me when we travel. My next laptop will be under 5lbs!
If anyone knows what the power issue might be, let me know!
Also, to the other poster who said the power port thing was only replaceable with the mother board, look on Ebay, I just saw some ports on there for the R3000 for $10. They do have to be soldered on though.
Fast Laptop but kinda heavy

I had my R3360US since Oct 2005 with no problems at all, some say the power jack fails... but mine have not stopped working, battery is gone already only working for 10 minutes, no over heating problems if you check the heatsink each 3 months (canned air does the work) i can play most games up to 2005 and few 2006 games, i was able to run Vampire Bloodlines on this babe, Doom3, Evil Dead Regeneration, Sims2, Obscure and GTA-SA with no problems at all.
Power adopter problem. Window system crashed

I shall never recommend Presario R3000.I got its pin replaced for hundred bucks, when it stopped charging the battery. I had annoying experience with power adapter then. I bought new recommended Adapter and next day the Windows system crashed.
One can imagine my agony. Now I have to pay another 100 to get the system revived. And who know what then. This is Presario R3000.
DECENT LAPTOP

I have had my R3000T for about 6 mths to a yr now and it has a jack problem but all i have had to put into it is the battery, so i guess i can handle a 1-200 dollar bill if it maintains its dexterity! great machine!

Good... if this were 2004

It was good enough back then, but now I have to say it is unsatisfactory. I have since upgraded the ram to 512, but it is still to slow.
