HP NX 7400 DC Power Jack Repair

HP NX7400 DC Jack Repair
This HP NX7400 came in with a physically broken power plug.  The circular barrel was completely missing and needs replacement.  This is a not an easy solder job and I would highly recommend going with a professional that has worked on this model and is familiar with what it needs soldering wise.
It uses a seven pin jack that many dell laptops (N5010, E5510) use.  The location of the jack makes it difficult to de-solder and doesn't have much room for error.
After the replacement the notebook charges the battery and powers on again.
