Gateway AJ2/md7818u dc jack replacement


This gateway md7818u came in with the dc jack pushed back inside the laptop. The md7818u is one of gateway's media style laptops.
The 7818 uses the same six pin, 1.65mm dc jack that many acers use.
The laptop is fairly easy to get apart and needs to be completely disassembled down to the motherboard to get to the dc jack.
The old jack was de-soldered and a new one soldered on. The laptop powers up and charges again.
