Acer Extensa 4420 4620 Broken Power Jacks

I keep seeing more and more of the 4420, 4620, and 4720 Acer Extensa laptops coming in for dc power jack repair.
Almost every single one has a physically damaged or broken off the motherboard power plug. Fortunately they can be repaired for the $65 parts and labor rate.
Today I replaced a jack on a 4420-5963 Acer Extensa and the jack was just starting to come loose.
It uses the traditional six pin, 1.65mm pin dc jack that's been on a lot of Acer laptops over the years.
Replacing the dc jack breathes new life into the laptop and it powers right up. This laptop was manufactured in 08 so it seems to be having a pretty short lifespan.

Any idea where to buy the power jack component/part online? Prices seem all over the map for the part.
