Compaq TC1000 Tablet DC Power Jack Repair

The TC1000 compaq tablet is a small 12.1" lcd that's about four years old.
It came in with the dc jack problem symptoms and you could wiggle the ac adapter plug to make it shut off. The dc jack looked worn and loose.
It uses a five pin, 1.65mm dc jack that's soldered into the motherboard.
Soldering the new jack on fixed the problem and the laptop powers on with no problems.
