Dell N5010 15R DC Jack Repair

The Dell N5010 (15R) is a pretty new unit from Dell. It doesn't use the standard nine pin dc jack dell has been using for years on their 15" laptops. It still has nine pins but the layout is completely different. Looking from the outside it still looks like the old dc jack.
This N5010 had been physically damaged because the dc jack was mangled and completely unusable.
The laptop needs be taken apart all the way down to the motherboard to gain access to the dc jack and will need to be de-soldered and a new jack soldered back on.
Once replaced the N5010 works great!
