Hello,

A month or 2 ago I found out that I had a bad power jack (intermittent charging). So I hunt around the internet and decide to buy one and try my hand at re soldering it. Turns out that it was a bit over my level. However I know people who do soldering like that as their job. I ask them if they could help and they got it replaced for me. I reassemble the laptop and pop the (1/2 charged) battery in, and hit the power button. All I get are the Caps Lock, Num Lock, and Scroll Lock lights for about a second or 2 then they turn off.

Now the guy who did it for me, said that he did a similar replacement on his daughters laptop and that "the board needed reprogrammed afterwords" I'm not sure what he means by this... Anyone know?

I'm about 95% sure I assembled it correctly. I put all the screws in bags and labeled them and so forth.. it there maybe a small connection that I missed?

Any help would be appreciated.
