Hmmm, after looking up that computer, it looks like it's roughly the
same thing as this HP. And since they're the same company I wonder if
I'll have the same problem with the same outcome you did... Oh well,
I'll just hope for the best and deal with it as it comes.

I will go so far as to attempt resoldering of the connector onto the
motherboard. Since everything else works so well.

Thanks for the warning!
