Averatec 6240 Power Jack Repair/Replacement

The Averatec 6240/6200 series laptops are pretty common ones we work on and I see them about once a month or so. It uses the same common dc plug that many averatec laptops use such as 3200, 3250, 2200, 7000, and many more.
This particular 6240 had the dc jack pushed back inside the laptop. It uses the standard five pin, 2.5mm averatec dc jack.
The dc jack is located on a small circuit board that can be access when the laptop is completed taken apart. The first step is de-soldering the old broken jack off this separate circuit board. When the jack is off and the contacts clean and properly de-soldered it's ready for a new dc jack.
Once the jack is installed the laptop is put back together and it powers on/charges the battery.
