I too had this exact same problem. I followed the steps, bent the metal bracket back and the computer is perfect again! Actually not perfect, the DVD is not working but the power isn't a problem any more!!!
Thanks for a great instructable!

Brilliant! I had exactly the same problem with the power inlet. I followed your guide and found the metal bracket was bent. Previously I couldn't fathom out how to get the back off and have spent a year with the power cable sellotaped to my desk so the laptop wouldn't suddenly die.

Thanks - a great post.
