    you can find or purchase the service manual for the notebook.

    Your notebook is really known as the Clevo D900T.

    Alienware just re-branded it.

    Do you know where I could find a service manual or from where I could buy one?
    I found the user manual on the Clevo site, but that doesnt help me, I was hoping the section on how to replace the processor would help but it says to contact customer service or whatever..

    It wont matter too much, it just shows you how to disassemble the notebook... no details about replacing the power input on the motherboard.

    I am not sure if the power jack is soldered onto the board or not, but it seems a bit difficult either way since replacing the power jack incorrectly may damage the board when powered up.
