    Hey,

    The central pin in the power jack of my LG P300 is loose and I'm going to solder a new one in.

    What part do I need? The LG website has no manufacturing guide for this rare laptop and the manual is scant, but I heard it uses standardised parts.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks.

    I did a bit of investigation and came across this page,

    LG Laptop DC Power Jack : LG41225

    Part Number: LG41225
    Center pin diameter: 2.5mm
    (and lists my laptop there as LG P300)

    However my laptop has 5 contact points whereas that picture only has 3.

    I then saw this power jack which I believe is the same type,
    AC DC Power Jack Plug LG F1-2226A, LGE50 E500 ECS 600L on eBay (end time 16-Feb-11 04:23:31 GMT)

    What does that metal cover do? For the description of another unrelated power jack, I saw "If your old jack has 3 pins only, you can easily remove the metal shield covering the DC Jack" <- so why do I need it?
