[Noisebridge-discuss] fixing laptop power connectors

[travis+ml-noisebridge at subspacefield.org]

This is so annoying.

I've got a laptop that's barely 2 months old.

I _think_ I yanked on the power cord too hard two days ago.

Yesterday, I barely noticed as the battery was running down.

Today, I see that it works fine with the battery in, but if I take
it out, there's no way to get it to boot.

I tried the old trick of wiggling the power cable in a circle while
trying to power up - no dice.

I measured voltage coming out of the cable, but try as I might, I
could not find any on the motherboard or the teeny tiny leads coming
out of the housing for the power jack.

Any suggestions on what to do?  It's mostly disassembled right now.

Model is an Asus EEE pc 1215n, and I miss it already :-(
