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.
