    We were in the processing of removing the bolt that holds the plug which
    goes into the computer...when the end it screws into came out w/ it. Now we
    can't get it off. The plug will go into the new computer really snug but of
    course it can't be bolted. Is this bad? Should I get the old one cut? Advice
    in the next hour or so would be awesome :)

    Yep. The screw is needed -- the plug will NOT stay in on its own through
    heat/cold cycling and with road vibration, that's why the nut/bolt is
    there.
