Tecra 8100 - Toshiba DC Jack Replacement

[dsmaceachern]

I'm new here and I'm inquiring to anyone to get somesome help witht he following: 1. How do dismantle to get to the DC Jack to replace this part and is this difficult?

I found the part on line and don't want to pay someplace 200+ dollars to replace this I cannot believe that it is that difficult.. As this computer is quite old now however, in very good working condition still and I want to see if I can get some more use out of it it has been having problems when moving the plug I don't want to burn out the MB. Any help in this area would be wonderful.

Thanks all:)

Although that article isnt for a Tecra, it is still Toshiba so I would assume it would still be the same. Do NOT attempt it unless you are handy with a soldering iron and know how to open up a laptop.
