This Gateway MX6000 series came in with no signs of life. The ac adapter tested out fine but no amount of wiggling or positioning of the ac adapter would make it power on.
When it was all taken apart I could see the center pin on the back of the dc jack had completely snapped, unable to give any power to the motherboard.
The gateway MX6000 uses a six pin, 2.5mm dc jack that's soldered onto the motherboard.
After a new dc jack was soldered on the laptop powered up without any problems.
