Charging problem Samsung RV520

Hi all

The above laptop fell off a chair whilst charging and has apparently damaged the connection within the casing i.e. I have to hold the lead at a certain angle to start charging.

The problem has already worsened ( more difficult to make connection ) and I obviously fear that the internal connection could break completely.

Haven't opened up a laptop before and so am wondering :

1) Will I likely be able to do so with ordinary tools ( all visible screws small Posidrive ) ? Have jewellers screw-drivers etc.

2) Will things spring out like a joke jumping-cracker ?

3) Is the connection going to be something substantial enough that I can solder with a small iron or is it specialised tool territory only ?

Any other comments welcomed and thanks for your interest.
