My Acer Aspire One
I got up to grab something really fast-like and neglected to notice that the power cord for my laptop was wrapped around seven of my toes and around my ankle a few turns, too. It yanked a great yank and that borked the DC power connector (all wibble-wobble-like), so I had to open things up to see what I had damaged. They sometimes solder these DC power receptacles right to the motherboard on inexpensive laptops, so I was pouting a furious pout. This is the picture-book story of the repair (and I took the opportunity to mod my touchpad button-bar while I was in there).

IMG_0826_kb_connector_and_screws
The keyboard ribbon connector. Notice that I haven't put any screws in yet...remember to put the screws in before you put the keyboard back in place. In fact, fire the puppy up before you put the keyboard back in place.
