Acer Aspire 1300 laptop - how to get in!
I have an Acer Aspire 1300 laptop with a shattered power socket. I have
removed all the visible screws but it's still connected in the middle somewhere. I've tried all the usual places, under keys, the panel below the keyboard etc. but no luck. Anybody got any clues? I know what to do once I get in there, but I don't want to break anything on the way..... Cheers Paul --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Sorted now.... Acer tech support were excellent.
Turns out you have to take off the panel *above* the keyboard, then dismantle and remove just about everything (LCD, keyboard, fan, CD, floppy, CPU, etc.) to get through to the vital central screw. Can't think why I couldn't figure it out... Typical really - I only want access to the bottom of the motherboard to solder on a new power jack but that's the very last thing to be made accessible. -- Paul "Paul" wrote in message ...
