laptop ac adapter socket loose

I have a laptop with a loose ac adapter socket (both the whole socket and the silver pin in the middle). I don't have any pcitures because I can't find my camera. I broke 2 ac adapters because of it and when the adapters weren't broken I had to wiggle the end to get it to charge and then I had to stay very still for it to keep charging. How can I fix this is it just something I have to solder? I took it all apart and the oly thing I saw was that the whole little ac adapter socket is very loose on the motherboard and it can move very easily. The laptop is a dell latitude 110L and don't say dell is crap because I know :P . Can I buy something to charge the battery outside of the laptop or just make it so I plug it into the wall? I never go anywhere with it so that would be fine.

I found my camera yay! :D sorry if the pics are blurry I was trying to get a close up to show how loose it is.
that second from last one is the back of the power box thingy.

the circles are the connections and the square is a pin like thing that holds the socket on the motherboard.
