Gateway MS2274/NV52 DC Jack Repair/Replacement

The gateway NV Series laptops are very common ones we're working on these days. Common NV laptops are NV51, 52, 53, 57, 59, and others.
This NV52 came in with a physically broken dc jack. It uses the six pin, 1.65mm dc jack that Acer used for years and since they bought gateway they now use it. It's a little better design than the previous generation gateways (MA, M Series, MT, MX, ML).
The NV laptops do need to be completely taken apart to access the dc jack. It also needs to be de-soldered and a new jack soldered on. These aren't easy to de-solder and you will need the proper tools and know how to get the old dc jack off safely.
Once replaced the laptop powers on!
