Over a period of time the little jack inside the computer got loose and finally broke. After I fixed them (took two days to carefully get them both back together)I looked for a way to stop the plug from taking pressure every time I grabbed the cable or hit it with my leg. Finally found a place online selling something called a jerkstopper. It's designed to take the strain if you tug or pull on the cable accidentally. Works for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2317838315948870091.post-31127077487333008622007-10-07T17:57:00.000-07:002007-10-07T17:57:00.000-07:00Thank you for taking the time to share this.

I had never opened a laptop before but managed to open up my old Toshiba Satellite and re-solder the connections of the existing jack to the motherboard. I didn't even need the new jack I ordered, but at least I have a spare now. It worked great....only took me about four hours, most of which was spent screwing and unscrewing. Thanks again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2317838315948870091.post-32585100936650600552007-04-02T07:37:00.000-07:002007-04-02T07:37:00.000-07:00Don't forget your digital camera.
