    It depends very much on the model, some are easier to take apart, some have the socket directly soldered onto the motherboard, some have a cable that plugs in. If the former, you may have mobo damage. If its just socket damage, expect a shop to charge the guts of 100 euro.

    Hiya
    I got a guy on adverts to fix mine, i forget his name, he mostly fixes iphone screens, i think its mike??
    Anyway he collected it fixed the power jack, gave me a new geniune charger and brought it back to me all for 50e, which was a bargain compared to what i was getting quoted.
    Have a look on adverts if you can't find him yourself and want his name pm me and i'll have a look for it.
