Then contact them and discuss the problem. Some repair centers (un-authorized?) may have the capability/willingness to replace the connector which (as you indicated) is attached to the motherboard. Get some price quotes and make a decision based on that information.<BR /><BR />Make a great day!<BR /><BR />Roger Sun, 10 Jul 2005 11:09:22 GMT Roger Faucher 2005-07-10T11:09:22Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-microsoft/pavilion-n5425/m-p/3578662#M6306 Power plug broke, has anyone else had this problem and do I have to replace the motherboard? It still works on battery.
