I've got a 700m. I live in a fraternity. My laptop was stepped on (the powercord was) when it was plugged into the jack. it snapped something off inside, and its definately the power jack is broken and nothing else. i just has my laptop replaced by dell in the fall sometime, i think around november when my warranty ended. it was for the same problem, the laptop wasn't charging batteries and dell was trying to get me to pay $500 for a new motherboard, but i sweet talked my way out of that one. I looked around online and there seems to be a few websites that offer power jack replacement and repair, absoluteraleigh.com is one, some doctorlaptop.com website or something and fixmymonitor.com, are any of these legit? i can see how easy it is to set this up as a scam, so i'm concerned. absoluteraleigh.com seems the most legit. I don't want to spend $500 on this laptop, its almost outdated, $150 is alot more reasonable to me.
what do you guys think? I found this thread on the forum: http://www.notebookforums.com/thread190406.html however i have little faith in someone that registered last month and 5/7 posts they have is in that thread. (sexyenyce) not only that, but the perfect formatting and english also make me more suspect, as most consumers are more lax online
any and all input on this is appreciated, thanks.
edit: PS i can't solder so doingthis on my own isn't an option
