Since there seems to be more than a few computer people on this site I'm throw this out you for help. Seems the rechager socket inside of my daughter's laptop (compac) has broken free and we can no longer charge the battery. I've had this back to CompUSA twice and they have fixed it both times under warranty. Both times it shorted inside and got very hot and melted the charger plug. Well it's no longer under warranty and CompUSA is no longer in King of Prussia. Is this some thing i can attempt to re-solder into place or do i need to take it to a local comptuer shop? Or am i SOL with this poor design?

Thanks in advance for your help.
