Replace broken DC power jack on your laptop computer (UPDATED).

Step 3 Most important key! DOCUMENTATION!

The reason why you need pen and pencil is that you need documentation. I can't emphasize enough this. You will find yourself with extra screws and non-functional laptop if you don't.

Look around and write down schematic diagram of your computer.
You will assign screw numbers and mark them into your figures as you disassemble.

In addition to making paper notes, taking your own series of digital photos while going through the disassembly process as the author has done in illustrating this instructable is very useful. Once you have created a series of digital images, do the other owners of your laptop a favor by posting your images somewhere on the internet.

Yes, my pictures were taken for that purpose initially.
