    Hi

    I took a part my laptop and put it back together using the guide from this site.

    But for some reason after putting it all back together, the power brick is not recognized anymore.

    I see this happened with 2 other people in the thread but didn't read of anyone finding a fix.

    Any ideas? Hope I just missed something easy on reassembly

    thanks for any help

    OK Figured it out

    The top left corner of the motherboard didn't snap all the way into the board that has the power supply, ethernet and 2 USB connectors.

    Had to take it almost all the way apart again to find that but it was good practice. :)

    Glad to see that you found a solution for it. Hopefully one of these days I will get enough guts to take mine apart so I can finish cleaning my gpu fan. Luckily my temps are still within reason, but whenever I upgrade my cpu I am just going to rip her all the way down =D.
