Gateway Labtop Question

[SamSpade]

I am working on a gateway 6525 GP
It has a bad dc power jack that will not charge the battery or allow the user to use the labtop.
I have pulled the motherboard.
It appears as though I can order just the jack (33 bucks)
However, when my Dell dc power jack failed, the tech replaced the whole mutta board (twice, this happened)
My question that I am throwing out there is, if I get the jack only will this be the fix, or does someone know from experience, that I will be replacing the whole board.

Same thing happened to my old Gateway, but I lack the skills to fix it.

If you know how to fix mine, I'll pay you. I'll be out of town for a while, but I'm serious. If you can fix mine that has the same problem, I'll pay you to do it.

I did this one, just cause I wanted to see if I could, I am by no means real computer wiz that deserves to get paid for that kind of stuff, however "dead eye" seems to know quite a bit and I believe he has the proper tools.

Thanks for all the help folks.....I got it working.

Got the jack at dcjacks.com, and a loose connection at the mobo caused the black screen.

Ill be back in town ( St Marys ) on 29th for 2 weeks. Can you pull the motherboard? If not I can do it for you. Is it same model as his? How did you(rat) find the correct part? D.E.
