Well, given my skills, carrying this out was like a 400 lb man running a
marathon. I am astonished, but I actually finished and it fixed the
laptop.

The scariest part of this was seeing all the excess solder after soldering
the connector back on the board. The pins are only 1/2 a millimeter apart
and I made quite a mess of it. Probably a fourth or a third of the pairs
of adjacent pins were shorted initially. It took me quite a while to wick
up that solder.

Thanks a lot for that advice.


Glad it worked out for you. As with a lot of these things, the main
ingredient is confidence ! Well done.
