The AC socket on my HP Mini 110 is no longer holding on to my AC plug. It needs to be replaced. Can someone tell me what I...

Hi Jayeff, I changed out my power-board and it was much easier than I thought. But...when I went to plug it in, I got no power at all. I went in a second time to make sure that I did it correctly and everything looked perfect. Somone on this site suggested that perhaps I did not connect the keyboard back on correctly. The connector was actually a ribbon that slide into a snap connection. you just slide it under and snap it down. Weird. The power board had an actually connector that you snap in and pull out, so that one was secure. Is it possible that this is what the problem is? Someone else also suggested a hard reset, which I had never heard of. Something about pulling battery out and holding power button in. I have not tried this yet. I am pretty confident that the problem was the power board because my AC adapter would not hold in the socket. Sometimes I could get it to charge if it was situated just right but this was annoying. If you bumped it in the slightest way, it would stop charging. Otherwise,...

I am so glad I found your website. I took my netbook in to a computer shop and told it would cost me $122 dollars to fix this power board piece. My AC Adapter socket is loose and wont hold the ac adapter plug anymore. To say the least, I was quite unhappy with that expense, as I only paid a couple of hundred dollars for this new. So, I bought the replacement piece on eBay for 12 dollars and will use this wonderful guide to fix this on my own. Even though I have done minor drive and cable changes in larger computers, I feel that your instructions are super easy and even an amateur like myself should be able to accomplish good results. Thank you.
