    So i have managed to open up the laptop, but I don't know you take out the Power Jack...I am afraid if I pull the cable too hard, i may destroy the whole port....here is a picture, would be nice if someone could tell me how to unplugg the Power Jack from the white port.

    For stuff like that either use a spudger or flathead screw driver. Sometimes you CAN remove it by hand, be very careful.

    From the picture, I would carefully hold the white male and female connector and separate it carefully. You're lucky that they have a harness for this as many laptops have the jack soldered one which requires more work\skill.

    If you do use a screw driver, be very careful prying it apart because if the flathead slips, it could scratch the pcb (motherboard) and you'll be in for an expensive repair.

    Isn't that always the case. You were lucky this time. Thankfully it came apart, instead of breaking apart.
