Dell Inspiron 1545 Notebook DC Connection Replacement

The dell 1545 laptops are common ones we work on and as the one year dell warranties are up I'm seeing more and more for ac dc connector repair/replacement.
This 1545 came in with the power plug pushed back slightly inside the laptop. Once inside the circuit board wasn't damaged and the dc jack was de-soldered and a new dc jack installed. Sometimes the damage is severe enough the entire circuit board where the receptacle is located needs to be replaced.
Once put back together the laptop powers on and charges the battery.
