Hey guys,
So my girlfriends laptop has been shutting off randomly for a while, I changed the battery as I thought it was down to that, but no luck. So after trying different parts and every possible fix I could, I have today noticed that the charger seems to be very intermittent when you touch it, sometimes the slightest movement can shut the laptop off, other times it takes nothing. I opened the laptop today and it seems that at the entry point where the charger connection plugs in, the motherboard seems to have some solder problems. I have posted 2 images below, I think the solder needs redoing, but some advice would be great. The charger connector was also getting very hot for a while, I am sure this is why. Anyway the laptop no longer powers on now, so any help would be great.
