Solder

Hi,
I am a newbie with what is probably a newbie question. My HP xf145 laptop has a loose power connector. My question is this: is there a liquid solder type product that can be used to make this repair? If not, is there a particular solder that should be used for the repair? Thanks.

Soldering iron and solder wire is all you need. Simply hold the wire on the part you are soldering, put the soldering iron on it, it will imediatly turn to liquid, and when it hits the object, it will turn straight to a solid again, unless you are holding the soldering iron there. Remember to be careful!

If you aren't 100% sure what you are doing, you should take it to a computer shop.
