This hp dm4 laptop came in with a physically broken dc jack. This is a very nice looking sleek laptop that's definitely worth fixing.
Due to the kinda rare, cable style dc jack that plugs into the motherboard it runs $85 for the parts and labor.
The dm4 needs to be taken apart to the motherboard to access the dc jack. The old broken jack was replaced and the laptop powers on again.

MSI MS-1683 DC Jack Replacement
This MSI MS-1683 came in with a physically broken dc jack. The center pin (2.5mm) was completely gone and needs to be de-soldered off the motherboard and a new dc jack soldered on. The laptop needs to be completely taken apart to the mainboard to get to the power plug.
It uses a standard five pin, 2.5mm dc jack.
This is a new windows 7 laptop and was most likely dropped.
Once taken apart the old jack is de-soldered and a new one soldered back on.
