    80 euro sounds about right. What model is it?

    I've done similar repairs myself recently, and €80 is about right. The replacement power jack has to be sourced and delivered, the entire laptop disassembled, old jack removed (sometimes via desoldering, sometimes via a plug), new one installed, laptop reassembled and tested. It's not a 5 minute job, more like an hour or two.

    mine has cable plug which makes it slightly faster and easier to repair.
    i will try to find disassembly video and order DC jack which costs about 15$.
    But thanks for input
