    Could you come up with a better model number? I couldn't find anything with that number supplied. Need something like a Pavilion XL500 or similar.

    You might try looking at HP's PartSurfer website.

    Enter a good model number and follow the bouncing ball.

    Good Luck!

    Well I had a HP laptop in which was a couple of months old, couldn't get a replacement jack anywhere, ended up needing a new board which we couldn't do as we're not a recognised HP Dealer.... chap went round to a HP dealer who said yeah I can sort it, it's gonna be £530.... so we sold him a new Dell laptop.

    The HP he uses as a reminder to never carry around the laptop with the power cable plugged in.

    Actually tho, when you think about it, a DC jack should only have two connectors: a positive and a negative. Normally, the center conductor is the positive with the outer being the negative.

    Is this not what you have? It should be pretty standard.

    Don is correct!

    BTW, I've fixed several similar problems on various laptops. Only one question comes to mind. How the heck do they brake them?

    They are users, they can do things no mere mortal can hope to achieve.....

    They drop the things with the power connectors in
    They push in too hard because they expect it to click
    They push in the wrong power connector and exert additional force when it is not easy....

    Anyone for anymore?

    Agreed, but breaking it is not that easy!
