This is slightly OT in that it has nothing in particular to do with F/OSS, but....

My beloved 4-yr-old laptop died today. I jiggled the power cord a bit and some smoke came out of the DC jack. I took the whole thing apart hoping that it was just a simple soldering job, but when I plugged in just the mobo, I got a spark off the DC jack. So, I want to get the jack off the mobo, buy a new one, and put it on. The only problem is that I've never soldered a circuitboard before and I need some help.

I'll throw in a free lunch for anyone who helps.
