Howdy all!

I've got a 4 year old HP laptop. I believe the power inlet is shot as I cannot get the power cord to work correctly. I tried a new power pack and still, no go. Called HP and they said the port soldered onto the motherboard needs to be changed and that it's not something I can do myself.

Anyone know of a reliable, fairly cheap, place that can do this? I was thinking about Best Buy "Geek Squad" but they said it will be over $200. Not sure it's worth that right now, although the thing worked fantastic and never had a problem.

Is there somewhere else that could do this?

Thanks!
