I discovered that OfficeMax had computer repairs.  The technician 
basically hacked away at the stuck screws with a force that I surely 
thought would have destroyed the computer.  One of the screws never did 
come loose, but with some acrobatics and the flexibility of the plastic 
components, he was able to get at the fan to replace it.

The fan in this model is like an automobile cylinder head.  You have to 
take apart the whole damn computer to get at it!

Then when I got home, the battery mysteriously began charging again!  I 
don't know why.  Perhaps the fan had been malfunctioning earlier than I 
realized, and was interfering with the power feed?  I'm afraid to try 
the old power cord again, because then I will know whether I wasted a 
bunch of money buying new ones.
