Laptop power jack replacement part 2 soldering

In this video I show how to solder a power jack on a laptop motherboard. Make sure you use enough solder and o not melt the solder on the tip of the soldering iron. Instead heat the jack and board with the soldering iron enough to melt the solder.

Why cant the makers of these Computers design a Socket that can be pulled out from the motherboard, itself designed like a plug, so it just connects into pins from the inside ?? - like a normal mains socket, is what im trying to say, It wouldnt be such a pain in the ass job trying to replace - maybe i should put this to the makers and hopefully become rich?!

@MRROBBIEWATTS I replaced a plug on a sony that had the jack mounted in the laptop and a short little cord that plugged into the motherboard. That is how they should all be made.

@mjmcomputers Thats how my toshiba is the jack that you plug the charger into is called a singatron and it plugs into 4 pins that are on the mother board but the part where you plug the charger into on mine broke so I have to buy a new one -__-

Great video. I just repaired a DC jack on a laptop that had a cracked solder joint and it is working fine now.

A quick tip for anyone doing solder work on a laptop motherboard, make sure you have not accidental gotten solder where you shouldn't and shorted two solder points together. And also using a multimeter to check the resistance of the solder joints you have just made is a good idea too.
