Alright, I picked up a 5300ce with what I was told was a damaged plug.
I thought it might just be loose and I could re-solder it, but after I
brought it home and looked closer the connection on the mobo is
actually in bad shape. The plastic housing is broken away, and the
straight "pin" part of the mobo connector was bent. I straightened that
out easy enough, but my question is: do I need the plastic framing
around that pin, or does the AC adapter just contact the metal part
underneath that? If that's the case, I'd be tempted to permanently
mount the adapter part to the PB and fix up a plug somewhere in the
cord to the power brick. No matter what I know I need to re-solder, but
with the plastic gone it actually makes it a little easier. I'm still
on the repair high after doing this to a cs model, now that one
actually charges the batteries.
