Power connection...

ahajv4life · 02-04-2007, 05:02 AM

Ok...kinda hard to explain. Where the AC cord plugs into the laptop, the part on the laptop is busted, and I'd like to take it apart and replace it. I received a quote for fixing at $250. So simply put, where the power is connected to the laptop, it's been wiggled too much, so it doesn't connect when plugged in. Ideas/tuts on how to do this would be appreciated.

Never taken apart a laptop, but I don't imagine it's that difficult. Repairing is another thing, but this is somewhat minor. I would see if you could find the a jack that fits at Frys or RadioShack or someplace, and go from there. To do it right would require some soldering experience, however.
