The power connector is is loose on my Gateway M305CRV laptop - I've been searching/reading, etc the net all morning and it appears as if the connector is soldered onto to the motherboard. At some point, it's not going to connect at all and I've have no way to power up - it gets worse by the day.

Can any provide instructions on how to disassemble this laptop (so that I can reach the motherboard and the power connector) or know of any website with instructions on how to do it? I searched all over the Gateway site and couldn't find a thing - same thing with other websites - I work online and cannot afford to lose access! I've already replaced the keyboard on this laptop on my own, and I can't afford to pay a ridiculous amount of money for something that I'll probably (I hope!) be able to do on my own. Thanks so much!
