The A355D Toshiba laptops aren't common ones I work on but are the same as newer toshiba laptops due to the cable style dc jacks (L455, L355, L505, A305).
This A355D laptop had a cable style dc jack that was pushed back inside the laptop. This is the classic symptom for these newer toshibas.
Once torn down the dc jack is fine but the bottom plastic of the laptop that holds the jack into place is broken. This usually happens due to excessive force to the dc socket or lots of plugging and unplugging of the power cord.
Fortunately in this case the plastic is still there and can be glued back into place with a special glue. It takes atleast 24 hours to dry but when done the dc plug is rock solid and can be used like new again.
