So fragile Acer Aspire laptop

I have a 2 year-old Acer Aspire laptop with Debian Linux installed.

Modern hardware have now chipsets with millions of capacitors. But finish is not perfect. For example, my laptop have a very bad connector for AC adapter. This connector have fragile solderings then during 4 weeks, I must branch my AC adapter in particulars position to have a connection ! After this, connector was broken and my laptop must be down…

Broken connector

My only solution was a complete dismantling and precise solderings. Thanks to Maxime Keller and CNRS laboratories.
