Dell Vostro 2510 DC Jack Repair/Replacement

This Dell Vostro came in with a physically broken power jack. The black plastic cylinder in the center of the plug is completely gone leaving nothing to hold the jack into place properly.
The 2510 does need to be completely taken apart to the motherboard to access the dc jack connection.
it uses the standard nine pin jack dell has been using for years and without the proper skills and tools can be very hard to de-solder.
Once replaced the 2510 powers on and charges the battery again.
* If you receive a message at POST that the power cord cannot be identified the data pin (small back solder point) it might not be soldered properly and won't charge the battery.
