This is me pulling up the lcd screen/keyboard of my Tecra 8100. I had an issue with the power jack – I had to force the plug to one side to keep power. As my battery lost its charge capability a long time ago, the computer kept shutting off. Ouch. That’s one sure way to kill your hard drive. Anyway, I did a disassemble of the Tecra 8100, desoldered the joints on the power jack, and soldered a new one on. Soldering is actually new to me, but it wasn’t hard. You basically just need some desoldering braid to get the old solder off, a new roll of solder, and a solder gun. Maybe some old hands at soldering can share their wisdom here ;>) In any case, I threw together a pdf doc on how to disassemble the entire enchilada for your enjoyment. Yeah, it’s a rough copy, but it does the job!
PS – I explain an issue with the Tecra 8100 not booting – and how to fix it, in case that’s an issue with you.

Hi Paul, great article! Allow me to post dummy question,.. is it possible to replace VGA card for Tecra 8100? Cause my tecra VGA card is troubled & needs to be replace.
If that’s possible where should I look for Howto Reference, after read this article I smell the possibility.
