Compaq 700us laptop

[Vickip]

Hey everyone...

I need some help replacing a power jack on the Compaq 700us laptop. It has broken completley off..and compaq does not sell them...they want you to purchase an entirely new motherboard.(although they should..seeing as how this seems to be a problem with a lot of them.)

Anyway, I normally only work on pc's...so I'm a little hesitant to just rely on my instincts here..

Any and all help would be appreciated!

and thanks in advance...Vicki
