I purchased this laptop just a little over a year ago for my son for college, so it is out of original warranty, and with graduation and everything I just didn't get around to getting an extended warranty.:o
The DC jack was broken and I am having trouble finding one to replace it. Tried lots of sites, but the ones on the sites aren't the correct one and since it is so new and not a lot were sold, the motherboard would have to be replaced. Some places have searched by the serial, they either don't have it or won't ship just one little part.
Any suggestions or information?
 
Lets see...

1) Tell us how the jack "broke"...

2) Buy an crapped out model of that laptop on Ebay and just switch motherboards...

3) Buy an jack and just solder the old one out and the new one in...
 
The jack broke when it was plugged into the AC adapter and fell directly onto the adapter/port where it was plugged into the computer. It shattered the jack inside.
We are attempting to find the DC jack so that we can solder the new one onto the motherboard, but cannot find that jack anywhere.

I will check into a crapped out of that model also.

Thanks
