Advent laptop help

Hi my brothers laptop is not powering on, not even the charge lights come on.

So we took it to our local pc shop and they said it's an internal fault and it will cost £70 or more, so is it worth me and my brother doing this as we have a rough idea of what it will be??

We think it's the charge input thats broke so would have to get one of them.

Here is the item number for ebay for the part we are on about.

Laptop is a Advent 5611

Yeah, I Know what you mean take your time with it etc but i just want to be telling my brother what to undo first etc instead of me doing it and he blaming me if aything brakes

But i will be doing the soldering.

I just need to know what parts to undo first obviously the battery but after that what other parts do i take out first???????
