Dell Latitude D520 DC Jack Repair

This dell D520 came in with the symptom of only powering on if you held it in just the right way on the ac adapter tip. When it would come on it could not identify the ac adapter type so it wouldn't charge the battery. After taking it apart the data pin was damaged and explains why it woudn't charge the battery.
The d520 is very similar to the D510 laptops with a different color and obviously updated hardware specs. Taking apart was nearly identical to the D510.
The dc jack was very loose and damaged. After replacing the jack the laptop fired up and works great again.
