Gateway NV59 MS2288 DC Jack Repair

This Gateway NV59 (NV53, 54, 55, 56, etc.) came in with the power jack physically broken. When you look at the dc input the yellow center pin is completely gone and off the motherboard.
It uses the standard six pin, 1.65mm dc jack that Acer has used for years and now gateway uses.
The NV series laptops need to be completely taken apart to the motherboard to reach the dc jack for replacement. It's also soldered onto the motherboard and can be difficult to de-solder properly.
Once the dc jack is replaced the laptop works great.
