Many times laptop owners may encounter a problem with the power-jack where it appears the plug is pushed in. Generally you will notice something is not right when you cannot turn on your notebook. This can be a costly repair if you take it to your local computer shop, geek store or send it back to the manufacturer. If you are willing to try to do the replacement yourself, it can cost you as little as $50 to do.
If you have access to another battery you may first want to be sure the issue is with the power jack itself. You can also take it to most larger named department stores that have tech support and ask them to test it for you.
Once you have determined it is indeed the this component, please follow the following steps, and realize this task is geared mostly for the advanced user. We suggest if you have the laptop's user manual you take it out in case there are any questions or areas you are unsure of when undertaking this task. Make sure you have the replacement power jack, screwdrivers and containers to hold parts and screws and bolts.
1) Remove the battery.
2) You will then want to remove all screws from the back of the laptop and take the cover off.

6) The next areas are where you will need to be very careful as you will now be removing the cables and the motherboard.
