Broken laptop

Archived from groups: comp.sys.hp.hardware (More info?)

I have an HP pavillion ze4546sr (4500 series) laptop, and for maybe 6
months now, the power connector was failing and sometimes you would
have to wiggle the connection to make the notebook realize it is
plugged in. well, last week, I pushed the power plug in, and I felt a
hard crack. it turned out that the power connector had broken off the
mobo and fell inside the computer. companies want about 200 bucks to
fix this, which I can't really afford right now. I have pulled the
broken part out of the computer, and now I have the system, a little
black piece of plastic with a metal pole on it (the connector itself)
and a small strip of metal with a circular hole in it which i have no
idea what it is. I can kind of match up how the connector sat on the
mobo by matching the plastic breaks. anyways, does anyone know if I
could solder (I am a very good microsolderer)the parts back on and what
goes where? thank you so much.
