[QUOTE="cowasaki, post: 788541, member: 36098"] The connector sticks straight upward with two pins that come off at 90 degrees forwards. The two bits that stick forwards are the contacts that actually solder to the board itself. If you look at that point on the actual motherboard you will see two parallel lines and this is where the connector solders. it is a fiddly job but do-able. You can tell you have the right pads by shorting them out with the laptop powered off as the laptop will power up (they run parallel to the sides of the laptop). There should be some sign of the connector having been soldered there though. [/QUOTE]
