Problem with Samsung P10 power socket.....

[gizmo.1484]

As the title says i have a big problem with the power socket. It's very worn down so the power jack does not stay in, hence no power. I have been doing my research and it seems this is a big problem with this laptop, due to crap design.

So what i have decided is to change the power socket and jack for a beater design one. So do any of you experts have a service manual or a circuit diagram for the Samsung P10. It would be much appreciated.
I have had this laptop for a long time and would love to fix it..as my 5yr old niece uses it.
Thank you for your time....

I had a Samsung that did the same thing, all I did was cut the jack off and soldered the cable onto the connection on the circuit board. Worked for a couple of years. Just had to live with the cable being permanently connected to the laptop. I found it the cheapest option as it was going to cost over ?100 to fix a ?300 laptop
