Dell Vostro 1520 Power Plug Replacement

This dell vostro 1520 notebook came in after it had been dropped. The laptop ran on battery power until that was gone. The dc jack itself was physically broken and needs replacement.
The vostro 1520 uses the standard nine pin, circular barrel dc jack that dell has been using for years.
The dc jack is located on the motherboard and needs to be desoldered properly then a new power jack soldered on.
After a new dc jack is installed the laptop powers up and charges the battery.
