This Asus G51 Series laptop came in with absolutely no power. The jack felt loose so it's up for replacement. This is a nice looking gaming laptop but I have seen a few in for repair over the last few months.
This uses the standard six pin, 2.5mm dc jack that companies like gateway have been using for years but recently stopped with their latest generation of laptops.
The G51 needs to be completely taken apart to access the dc jack and it's not the easiest model to get apart.
Once taken apart to motherboard level the jack is bad but a small chip behind the dc jack is burnt. After the replacement it's plugged in and that burnt ship smokes :(. Looks like it would need a motherboard replacement to get it up and running.
