Another saved laptop!

Just got done replacing another motherboard, this time on a Dell Inspiron 4150.  It was the same problem as most laptop repairs, a broken power adapter.  Reminder, take care when plugging and unplugging your laptop cord.  They seem to break so easily when disconnected carelessly.  Most repairs entail replacing the whole motherboard.  In many cases you can replace the adapter by soldering a new one in, but since I am no soldering expert, the only other recourse is to replace the board.  The only headache is that I always keeping track of all the screws when disassembling and reassembling.  Nevertheless, it is always an......interesting repair.
