I am thinking I need a whole new motherboard

[SandraHanyen]

as the battery charger link to the computer became loose and apparently soldering them is a no go anywhere.....So I am guessing I need a whole new motherboard because of something as crazy as this. Apparently even though  it is a common problem for my laptops because of it just reaching over the warranty time I got told I was sol....so to say. So now I am seeking advice as to what motherboards will go into my computer with ease and not cause any issues. My particular laptop is the HP Pavillion 6500 p/n gs667ua#aba      it says it is the dv6629wm..........................SO PLEASE help me figure out what motherboard I can get that will not cause issues and will work correctly in this laptop. THANKS!

Hi, do you mean the power connector on the right hand side?

[SandraHanyen]

Yes, and as long as I can not plug that into the comp I cant get any power to the comp....well you know the theory...any suggestions?

Hi, the power plug should be able to be fixed or replaced, you need to find a laptop repair shop.

As far as replacing the motherboard is concerned it would be more cost effective to purchase a new laptop.

It is not the power supply itself but the plug in the computer that has come loose to plug in the power supply. Everywhere I have tried to see if they could repair it said that it would need to be repaired back to the motherboard and they dont do that so purchasing a new motherboard would be the way to go.

Hi, the motherboard does not have to be changed the power connector comes as a separate part. (100USD)

446524-001 = 90W AC Adapter

449454-001 = 65W AC Adapter

You will also have to add in the cost of labor to replace the part.
