Charging port broken

    Hi just wanted to get an idea of how much it would be to fix a laptop when the charging port just broke. It's a samsung and about four years old and fairly banged up to be fair. The charger is working perfect so I know that's not the issue, using it right now on a really old Samsung model.

    If it's too much I may just try and get all the stuff I want off it (notes, music etc) and get the hard drive as an external hard drive. But I'm assuming all my programs like Microsoft Office and Itunes will be gone if I do that.

    The parts are inexpensive, $3.39 on eBay

    So you're paying for someone to disassemble the laptop and perform a bit of soldering on the motherboard.

    Just a quick google of "laptop dc jack repair dublin" gave the initial link http://www.lynch.ie/computer-repair-prices.html and prices from €60-€90.

    Obviously I didn't shop around, but you have the right search term there to start off with.
