I didn't see a thread about this anywhere. I have a g72gx (specifically g72gx-rbbx0) series rog notebook that isn't charging. it started out overheating and then shutting off. I tried cooling pads/fans, you name it, didn't work. Finally removed and cleaned various fans and even the heat sync (sp?). Cleaned all of that out, it worked for a few minutes, then it started burning up at the internal portion of the charger. Well in trying to pull that charge port out, its hidden under the motherboard and I have no idea how to get that little piece out to replace it without ruining the motherboard. It also won't charge the battery, it acts like the battery isn't even attached even though it is. The AC adaptor still fits into the charging point for the laptop, so I know its not broken off there, I just think the port itself is out.

Has anyone had this issue before? Anyone know how to take the motherboard out without breaking it? (As any screws that can be seen holding it in have been taken out and its still stuck). Or does anyone know of a video I can watch to take it apart myself? I've got the pieces I need to replace the old ones with, just not the knowledge of taking the laptop totally apart.
