Gone But Not Forgotten
I have a feeling it was the old "can you fix this" routine. I have the laptop that I bought for the wife downstairs since the dog shorted out the charging circuit. Thought about tearing it apart to put a new mobo in it . Then I get to thinking it would be a real expensive target to practice with the pistol on.

Muleman got it.
We went down to their house Saturday. Monica's mom thought it would be a good idea to pull a ROLLING file cabinet out from under the desk and set the laptop on it. Addyson (2 1/2) walked up to the laptop. Leaned against the cabinet and BOOM. The laptop went onto the floor. At first didn't think it did anything. But it turns out it landed on the power cord and shoved the pin out the back of the jack.
It worked on battery power until the battery went dead.
They brought it up to me Monday afternoon. I tore into it. Had a little trouble getting the case apart but finally did. Saw what the power jack was and found one at a place called DCPowerjacks. Started Wednesday night trying to desolder the old jack. About an hour later and I was tired. Finished up getting it off last night. Let the board cool and put the new on this morning. Got it back together now. But the screen latch isn't working quite right. I'll have to see if I can get that adjusted before I give it back. I've already spent way to much time on just the latch and had to disassemble it once already because of it. Darn thing works right when the case is apart.

Got the latch fixed, but it required me to disassemble the whole thing again. Once of the little latches on the case was broke and pressing against the slide assembly. Took the little piece out and all is well. It won't hurt anything, because there are something like 25 screws that hold the case together, so all is good. I'm actually posting this from it now.
