vizskywalker 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2006 If it's like what happened to my laptop, then it will continue to function on the charger for a while, but eventually it will cause something to short circuit and some plastic to melt and then the whole motherboard will have to be scrapped. I'm not saying that's definitely the case, just my personal experience with a very similar problem. As far as soldering there, it may be easier to heat some solder onto something like maybe a bent paperclip and use the paperclip to apply the solder to prevent it from being applied in areas where you don't want it. I've personally never tried this technique, it's just a thought.~Viz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
