    I desperately need to replace the power jack on my Hel-80. I don't want to be gouged on this if at all possible so want to be armed with the facts which I can't seem to find anywhere online. I have tried different universal chargers on my laptop and they work for a short while and then the charging problem re-occurs. The power cord simply slips out of the power jack because the jack is not holding it in any longer. I can't find anyone locally willing to work on this make and model of laptop cuz they don't know anything about them so am considering sending it off to a laptop repair shop I found online. ANY help would be greatly appreciated. I have been trying to resolve this for quite some time.

    Thank you VERY much. That PDF was very helpful indeed. I now have a very good idea what my options are for repair.
