Laptop charger port problem

Hi

My friend has an HP Probook 4515s and when you put the charger into the hole it just falls out again. A small plastic piece fell out of the laptop but it was miniscule.

I think maybe the charger port has moved further away.

I was wondering if any of you guys could think of a way to fix this so it is usable again!

Regards

You probably need to replace the DC jack.

Have just opened up the laptop and we can't seem to get to the charger port. There seems to be a bit of plastic covering it.

Not a good laptop to be taking apart if its your first.

Disconnect all cables and remove all the screws then removed the screen, this shoudl then allow you to remove that plastic and show you the motherboard, I think the DC jack on this is on a cable so should be easy to replace.
