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.
