Laptop Repair

Our cord was acting fritsy so repaired the cable. That didn't fix it so I found a great website that described taking the whole thing apart. I ended up taking the whole thing apart twice like this because the first time didn't do it - I only resoldered the top of the power connector to the circuit board (silly me). So I did it right the second time. Luckily - since this laptop is Sally's life line to family/friends.

I think you are very brave. I'm afraid to take apart Emily's broken radio. Let alone a laptop. I guess that engineering degree helps. Glad it worked!

I'm surprised you didn't try to fix it with your hot glue gun.

Hot glue was my plan B. (honestly)
