I haven't seen a X1000 in a while but it's the Compaq equivalent to a HP Zt3000 which I see very often.
These laptops use a six pin, 1.65mm dc jack that a lot of Acers also use. They fall victim to the burnt voltage pin problem giving it the "wiggle" effect to make the laptop charge and power on.
When the X1000 was torn down to the motherboard the voltage pin was in fact slightly burnt causing the ac adapter plug to be wiggled in just the right way to charge and power on.
I replaced the dc jack and the laptop now charges and powers on fine again.
