Hehe... yeah, that was my post ;-) I repaired Toshiba laptops for many years. (At a Toshiba Premiere repair center - not a CompUSA or someplace, so when I say "we used hot glue" I'm talking about solutions that were actually endorsed by Toshiba.) A couple different models had that problem and we would always tear the machine apart, place the AC plug in position, and use a good amount of hot glue to secure it in place. Occasionally if the solder joint were badly damaged, we'd have to use a little solder to mount it back to the board, then we'd apply the glue so it wouldn't loosen up again.
