OK, I've got this old PB 5300c. It seems to be in fine shape other than the fact that it has the power connector problem.
I've taken it apart and resoldered the power connector twice now. Each time I got around 20 minutes of use before the darn thing lost connection. Man that thing is fragile.
It seems that the problem is small feet that don't make a solid connection the the mainboard. My question is, does anyone happen to know the partnumber / manufacturer for a replacement power connector? Like something that is better designed and won't have this problem once I get it soldered?
I'm only willing to do this one more time. Taking that thing apart is tedious.
thanks
