    forgive me but Im lazy... can I get a clear cut response on this..

    add power, plug it in to the power outlet on any laptop? and no soldering ?

    cause it seems unlikely that it's that easy

    Well, just a little bit of soldering but its so easy even I could do it.
    And the last time I soldered anything was during craft class 20 years ago

    The thing works like a charm.

    You wire in the module to your ACC powered line, solder a plug/jack system to the power switch on the laptop and that's pretty much it. lol don't be so lazy. The instructions and all are listed at the beginning of the thread and on my website with a lot more info. I'm shipping a few out this morning...

    Whenever you're ready just come by my website. There's a great Store to make the process even easier, and as mentioned above, there is even more info on the module.

    Cheers.

    I"m capable but I had my toshiba satellite apart and it's no easy task to solder to this board. I think I'm just gonna go with a small custom enclosure for my amp and p4 mobo...
    Either way, nice work on the module.

    Well seeing what ludikris said, what inexpensive older laptops would you recommend webmaster? Meaning which laptops would be easiest to install this as their aren't tons of things in the way.

    And also, if I send my laptop to you what is the price to have you do this for me? I'm a wallet modifier, I'd rather pay people to do it right than to have me screw it up 1 time.

    These modules really aren't that hard to solder in, but as far as which to recommend, can't really tell you. I've used a newer laptop and had no problem routing the cables and making the hole for the jack, and a lot of other folk have as well. To be honest I'd rather not do the install myself seeing as how the laptop has to be disassembled, modified and then reassembled. I have no problem doing that to my own equipment... but... I'd prefer not to on others...

    I understand what webmaster is saying. I have no problem cracking open the case of a laptop i bought to try and modifiy it etc. because if i break it, its MY loss. I have had issues wiht electronics fixing them for other people, especially under risky projects where they come back with complaints... it can be irritating.

    Not to be mean in any sense, but you may learn quite a bit doing it yourself. As is the nature of this site. And you would also have the pride and glory of doing it
