I think the AC adapter would get hot even if the computer does not accept the current, if the adapter is working. It does sound like the AC adapter to me - not the solder problem. Also, my experience with AC adapters on the 5300 and on the 3400 is that the wire gets a break somewhere and the adapter then won't work. I would try the adapter before I wiggle any part in the computer. Otherwise you may cause a problem which you don't have now.
