Compaq CQ60 DC Jack Repair

This Compaq CQ 60 laptop (CQ50, CQ60, CQ70) came in with the dc jack pushed back inside the laptop. It uses a cable style dc jack that plugs into the motherboard vs. a soldered onto the motherboard power plug.
Once inside I discovered the cable jack was fine but the plastic on the base of the laptop that holds the jack into place was broken. This can be remedied by using a special glue to hold the jack safely into place.
Once dried the jack is rock solid and holds into place nicely.
