Presario 2100 broken power connector
The 'power connector' of my laptop (Compaq Presario 2100US) is broken
off inside the case. The male jack that you plug the power supply into in the back of the machine is now inside the machine broken off the motherboard. So there is not way to recharge the battery or get any kind of power. I was talking one of my harware buddies and he told me about a bunch of options: - buy another power connector, take the laptop apart, unsolder the broken connector from the motherboard, solder the new connector onto the motherboard, then put the laptop back together. - buy a new motherboard. Take the laptop apart, replace the motherboard, then figure out to upgrade the new bios with all the serial number information that is in the old bios. - take it back to local computer store chain I bought it at to be repaired. - send it to HP/Compaq to be repaired. - or cheat and buy a port replicator/docking station and don't bother fixing the broken connector. Can you think of any more options or reccomend which of the options outlined looks good to you. |
