You have to remove jack from motherboard and Solder another one on. Once you break the computer down to the point showing above it seems to be much harder to go further. The jack in the top left corner of the picture has medel around it. I think it glue or something. Anyway I wonder how to take the monitor apart.

I would like to know if the on board memory is replacable (the un-accessable slot) I seem to get conflicting infro about that fact. This is great infro as I need to give my r3430 a good cleaning.

A question though:Did your screen connector also have a ground wire that is screwed to the chassis base? The HP video tutorial shows a ground wire screw that needs to be removed but my R3000 doesn't have one. It was given to me non-working and someone had been into it so I don't know if it was missing or never there. It's a 3.0 P4 R3000, PL986UA. Thank you. Nice write up, quite helpful!

The screen works fine - does anyone have an r3000 with bad screen that wants to sell, so I can just switch screens? I recieved an r3000 as a christmas gift and it has the power cord problem.
