External Power Port for Laptop

by ronschmidt . Updated 21 years, 3 months ago

My friend has broken the port where the external power supply plugs into the back or her GATEWAY
SOLO 1450LS laptop. The entire connector containing the center pin has been pulled out. GATEWAY will not sell me the repair part but wants me to sent it to them to fix. I believe I can repair it myself if I can obtain the part. Does anyone know of a source for these. It is the part inside the case in the back that contains the center pin and the surrounding jacket that accepts the end of the external power cable. Also any help, description, or schematic of this part of the laptop would be very much appreciated.

Thank you for your help.
