I have a Compaq R4000 and I need THIS piece replaced. My husband and I are very PC knowledgeable but it's always been desktops we have taken apart. I have never explored the laptops as I have never had the need to. So my question is, does anyone know what this would entail? I don't want to have to solder things and all that. Hopefully someone know specifically about how to replace this. $10 is a lot cheaper then the $180 Compaq wants to fix it. Thanks!
I've only installed drives and other features but havent touched it but this long detail guide may help you http://www.laptoprepair101.com/laptop/2007/12/06/dc-power-jack-repair-guide/
