Now I cannot get any power in it whatsoever. Not sure if its the power lead or the actual sockety bit on the laptop, cant find any signs of physical problems on either.

Any ideas? I desperately need my machine.....
Sounds like the cable coming out of your power adaptor has a broken lead, I've had to repair two of these for my daughters, one was for a mobile phone recharger, looks like the wire has been kinked to much.

Dereks suggestion about an in car cigarette lighter adaptor, would prove it one way or the other. If it works in the lighter socket, then you could get a new mains charger from Maplin in Blackburn, just make sure its the correct V & A output.
