Like millions I have had my HP power jack disconnect from the motherboard, I have resolderied it a couple times but it eventually comes off again. (I'm not very good at soldering)
I would like to have the power jack sit outside the laptop with wires running to the motherboard. I think the wires would be flexable enough to releive the stress of the power cord being plugged in. I will be using this as a Desktop PC so it will not be moving. I could also making another small box that would hold the power jack, and keep it from moving.
I need help knowing if this is possible and what type of wires and solder to use. HELP I've had this laptop sitting in my closet for months, I refuse to give up it was quite expensive and with a 19'' Wide screen I want to be able to use it.
