    So i have managed to open up the laptop, but I don't know you take out the Power Jack...I am afraid if I pull the cable too hard, i may destroy the whole port....here is a picture, would be nice if someone could tell me how to unplugg the Power Jack from the white port.

    Don't pull the cables, pull the plug out (like you would with a desktop fan)

    thanx for replying, but it doesn't look that simple...it's way too though, i can't pull it out...i don't know why...most other plugs on the motherboard have some sort ''lock'' but this one is a bit confusing...i don't what to do...

    edit: wow you were right...it just need a powerful, but careful pull, and i took it out...thank you Katalin
