Originally it was the charger socket that was the problem, and my plan
was to replace the DC-in board. But in the process of disassembling
things, I snapped off the socket for the power wires. Sorry for the
confusion. And to answer another question, I believe the traces did
not get bent. I was as careful as I could be on that front, and
rehearsed the process for quite a long time, trying various
combinations of tools and techniques to get the socket exactly where
it belongs. When gluing the socket back in place, I used a toothpick
to hold the socket in place as firmly as I could but without exerting
so much pressure as to bend them back so they would lose connection
with the board. I hope that's what I was supposed to do! Not that it
matters now... Bill
