daz,

As a repair engineer, i would say be carefull if you have the slightest hesitance don't do it.

Some of these laptops are produced on multi layer PCB and so you need good skills to get the right connection without causing a short across another track on the pcb.

If it is just a cracked/dry joint you could run a low power soldering iorn over the joint and flow in some new solder to be honest you probably need to remove the old solder and insert new to the joint. also these usually have a little plastic holder on them to steady them and over time as you use the laptop conestantly removing the power socket they brake up.

You can usually find a litle for like socket on the like of ebay or such good eletronics supplier.

Without using the really dangerous N-word again, may I point out that while I agree that I have not been able to suggest a repairer, I have pointed out the dangers of a DIY repair.

Probably not--go to a proper repairer I would suggest, only experienced professionals should be let loose on this job.

And if they it up---you have a comeback
