My ps2 DC input is loose

Oct 19, 2005 8:27AM PDT

Recently my ps2 DC input became loose (I have the slim ps2), I have to bend the wire a certain way to get it to power on. If anyone could tell me if I could repair this and how (I have no experience in repairing ps2 but this seems like a simple problem) or a place I can get it repaired for a law price.
