This is a fairly new Vista laptop (seeing more and more vista laptops) with a bad dc jack. When plugged in the laptop would do nothing. No amount of wiggling would get it to power on at all. Usually this means the customer has broken the contact or it was dropped.
It still uses the same six pin, 2.5mm dc jack that gateway has been using for the last few years and is the most common dc jack I use.
It was easy to get apart, just like most of the MT and MX series laptops.
The dc jack was replaced with a new power plug and the laptop powers on/charges the battery again.
