Dell Inspiron 6000 DC Plug Replacement

Yet again, another dell inspiron 6000. This is an exteremly common model in here over the last three years. I'm sure dell made thousands and thousands of these popular 15" laptops so that could be part of why I see so many.
This one had the classic hold the power cord in just the right way or it would shut off or not come on in the first place.
It uses the standard circular dell nine pin jack they still use today.
Both of the voltage pins on the jack were oxidized a blackish color and the jack needs to be replaced.
The video below is the symptom of being able to hold the power cord in just the right way to get it to power on. As soon as it's moved the laptop shuts off. I could barely get this one to power up.
