Lenovo Edge E420/E520 DC Power Jack Repair


This is a very new Lenovo laptop and is still being sold on there website. It has the typical looking yellow dc jack Lenovo is known for. I wasn't able to locate a dc jack for this model by searching the internet it's so new.
This E520 (same power plug as the E420) came in with a physically broken dc jack. The customer reported it being dropped on the input connection while plugged in. As you can see on the picture the jack is very damaged but can be fixed. It uses a circular barrel, 7 solder point power jack. The dc jack is located on a seperate I/O board but soldering is required. The laptop also needs to be completely taken apart to access the jack.
Once the part arrives we'll be replacing the broken plug.
