No one will touch it! Literally

Now I only bought this gem of a computer through ebay. OH MY GOD what did I do wrong in a previous life. First of all the casing started cracking through use (not even daily), the sockets fell out. The power supply input socket doesn't work and is sooo loose that I have a 1 in 1000 chance of recharging. I can't take it anywhere as it is too heavy. The only good thing on it is Windows XP (got rid of Millenium that it came with as that was rubbish). Oh and by the way Advent make really bad computers. Their after service care once you pass the 12 month stated is none existent. I think that is because they don't expect to be able to fix it after a year, because it is made that poorly. Oh and another thing when you go to any shop they will charge twice as much (YES TWICE) to repair the Advent laptop, just because it is Advent. This is because it takes them 4 hours to take it apart properly, compared to other brand makes. It is currently on my kitchen floor next to the bin. I have taken the hard drive out and that is it. Thanks very much Advent.
