Watched this before successfully replacing my parent's power jack. Without this I would not have known about the screws under the keyboard and CD drive - Thanks!
The DC jack seems to be a weak point on this model. The positive pin out the back was separated from the jack on the one I just tore down. It took a little effort, but I finally got it to take solder and repaired the existing jack. I don't trust it to hold, though, and left a pigtail sticking out a vent slot for future repair without disassembly.
@@TruePurpose76 Weak indeed! So far, I have had to replace their jack twice! Biggest cause is they didn't have a 90 degree plug, and they used short power cords which often resulted in it getting yanked. Is the pigtail power connector just hanging outside of the laptop? Sounds like a good idea for a laptop that never gets moved, but I bet they would break that off too :(

This is the cheapest US-based ebay listing. I recommend getting at least two in case one is bad or you need to do the repair again in the future.

Most laptops are the same, but to make sure I found this video. Figured it was time to redo the thermal paste, and wanted to make sure I wasn't going to rip out some kind of ribbon cable. +1
Thanks! I had to replace the keyboard, but decided to go all the way in order to replace the heatsink compound on my 11 year old Asus! I just can't justify replacing this workhorse!

Thanks for making this. Just repaired my old laptop running linux with this guide. Very helpful.
