I replaced the jack in my inspiron 2200 with one of these. I worked fine but it was a real pain in the *** to fit. I had to completely dismantle the laptop to remove the motherboard to fit it. It is not something I would relish doing again but it is do-able.

If you can find the jack suitable for your model hopefully just replacing it should solve the problem.
