Messed Up Lenovo Charging Port Repair?

[jsiegel713]

I was using my Lenovo Yoga 2 when it was plugged in and I dropped it. The yellow piece of plastic was cracked and it is now further into the laptop so now I cant charge it. The piece of plastic in between the usb 2.0 and the charging port is also cracked but I almost have it back in place. Is there anyway I can fix the charging port myself or do I have to send it back to Lenovo? I am tech savvy, so I can try almost every solution to fix it myself.

Hello J
Fixing an AC jack is pretty simple the most daunting part is taking the laptop apart. When I take apart a laptop I set up a camera and record the bench so if I end up with an extra screw I can watch it back lol.
You can get the parts Here and This guy show how to get at the jack and one way of fixing it by soldering on a new jack but you can just buy the whole plug and plug it in and put it back together if your not good with soldering.
