    Hi, lately ive been noticing that my laptop only charged when the cable was in certain positions, after few weeks it stopped working. After further inspection, it melted the cable. On the pc, the power jack is lose and seems to have 1 pin missing. Where I can get that 4 pin connector for it ? http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/4pin-power-jack-broken.800786/page-2#post-10452851

    Read this, would it work in my case ? I cant seems to find fast shipping on these ..

    If you guys know the part name or an equivalent that I can buy that would be great ! MSI support is not an option btw, thank you guys.

    Sadly it it's impossible to buy the correct connector for the laptop. The one you linked is a female one.
    I just soldered the female one into the laptop and then used 4 metal pins to connect the female to female.

    I am aware they are different, but would would that swap work for my model? I am unaware if my charger output more than what is listed on that thread.
