Thanks Mad Dog for the information. I'll give it a try. I don't have a solder gun, but it sounds like I need to get one. I am not even sure how to get the computer open, it looks like the screws require a special screw driver or will a small philips head work?
Thanks again Rich
You will need a torx-8 screwdriver. For a how-to to dismantle, see:

and click the duo links.
All you should have to do is get a 25-30 watt iron, and a little silver-tin solder (its slightly more expensive and much better for electronics than regular solder and can be found at RadioShack).
Heat each pad on the AC adapter plug on the motherboard and work in a little fresh solder. Do this for each of the three legs on the plug. Hopefully, that should fix your problem.
