One of the soldering points on the AC jack to my laptop kinda broke (again), so I plugged in my soldering iron to redo the point and my gun ATE UP the solder that was there.

So my question is, can I use the solder I have (60/40) to redo the point? It's 75W coming in, so is that good enough to conduct what it needs to, or do I need a different kind of solder? I already did the point, but haven't plugged it in yet or anything.. figured I'd ask first since it's pretty easy to undo.

I'd take it to the tv shop next to my office where I had it done, but they're closed and I kinda need the laptop by tonight and it seems like a quick easy fix.

Thanks!
