My roommate successfully repaired a loose power connector on a toshiba satelite laptop. The only thing he used other than a soldering iron was some soldering braid (sold at radio shack it wicks away the old solder points) and lots of patience. Just be careful and take your time if there's detailed instructions online it should be fairly easy. He replaced the old power connector with a new one bought from online. It was a very successful repair on a cheap laptop, so he's happy.
