[ltp] Loose power connection in T43

The power connection to my T43 has failed,
because the plug no longer fits tightly
into the socket at the back of the computer.

It seems to me there is spring of some sort on the side of the socket
which holds the plug in, and this has become weak or broken.

Is this a common failing?
And is there a simple solution?

Any suggestions or advice gratefully received.
