I found a few videos.
Short summary
A long summary
I played the short video until I was confident then I counted all the screws.
I made a plan...
| PLAN | ||
| Remove | Number | |
| Battery | 1 | |
| rubber feet | 4 | |
| Screw under feet | 4 | |
| one screw at back in battery area | 1 | |
| Under cover | 1 | |
| Underneath screws | 11 | |
| small door | 1 | |
| screws under door | 2 | |
| battery area screws | 5 | |
| Keyboard | 1 | |
| Keyboard ribbon | 2 | |
| Optical drive | 1 | |
| screws in optical drive area | 3 | |
| Under track pad | 7 | |
| IO cable | 1 | |
| Speaker cable | 4 | |
| IO Board screw | 1 | |
| IO board removal | 1 | |
| Fix power plug |
And gave it a go, taking a photo at every step.
Then I soldered up the broken part.
It was the gold solid wire coming out the rear of the socket!
Can you see the black break in the gold wire?
Then I loaded the photos onto my laptop and went through them in reverse.
Using the photos as a check procedure.
I had to watch a few segments of the long video in order to connect back in the ribbon cables.
That was the most difficult part. But my photos showed me the before connections, so I kept persevering until the ribbon cables looked the same.
No screws were lost or damaged in this processes!
And none left over. I used magnets to hold the screws.
