I dropped my laptop, there was no external damage, but now it doesn't power on at all. I opened the cover and there are two wires, attached to a 'chip', one black and one white. The white cord has disconnected from the 'chip'. Could this be the problem? I tried to reconnect the wire, but it wont re-connect to the chip..??

Yes, that could easily be the problem.
If that wire won't plug back in...that might indicate an actual broken lead.

Thank you so much. If the lead is broken, could I solder them together?
