[QUOTE="FAST6191, post: 10257593, member: 32303"] I have adapted many laptops (and corresponding chargers) to common/available to me at the time port types over the years. Existing two pins should have no troubles going to three pins. The third pin is usually used either as an earth (some laptops will be floating. Has some implications in higher end electronics and measurement but I will skip that for today) or as a communications option with the charger (a lot of late core2 and early i? Dell laptops doing it to see if you had a suitable blessed official charger, refusing to charge the battery if a third party replacement was detected and said detection often went wrong). Get the right pins connected and it is all good -- chances are the negative rail is probably directly wired to nearby USB outer shells so quick resistance measurement and you know what is what. Depending upon the arrangement of the replacement you might have to solder wires around (push comes to shove then turn it upside down and run wires down it or indeed skip the lot for your setup and go to the ribbon cable rather than trying trace modifications). Cheap firestarter irons. Mercury irons I have used for years and years. Nice price, very effective, whenever I touch a cheap and nasty one (usually not that much cheaper) I see why so many lifted pads happened for others using them in the wii modding days, whenever I touch a fancy hakko or something one they are nice but not a "oh that is why" moment like I get when handling expensive spanners vs cheap homeowner ones. As far as desoldering. Get some flux, add some more solder on (better yet some nice leaded solder if you can get some/care to use it) and yeah. If you can snip the old ones off with a nice set of flush trip sidecutters to prevent them acting as heatsinks then do that too. Can also be helpful to flood with some glue gun/hot snot, though looking at the pictures you might have a flying lead anyway (always nice to have that vs on the motherboard where the destruction of the port might cause greater issues).
