update...

unfortunately, the geniuses at HP didn't design the part where the electrical adapter sends power to the laptop. With use, the plastic and metal parts to it simply ripped off the motherboard. I tried fixing this but soldering and gluing it in to place, but didn't work.. it broke off again and this time had no power at all.

Now, I found 2 potential "parts" laptops on ebay from the same model as I have. Since I love my laptop so much, I plan on getting one off ebay and hooking up my good parts back on to it and get everything going.

Will see how it turns out. Thank you all
