    I have a Dell inspiron 5100 with a broke power adaptor/plug. Is this an easyish fix? I feel comfortable taking laptops apart so that's no biggie. I've put in memory .Drives, cleaned the MB and replaced a CPU or two. But I never repaired one before. has any of ya'll done it? Is it "brain surgery". I know i have to resolder it back on but what's the risks? And what type of solder should i use? And anymore tips? Thanks!!!
    Oh.. is the "rank" on MG based on posts or relpys? Cause I ask a LOT of questions!!!
