    Can you please clarify which part. Plug on PSU or socket on the computer?

    A photo would help.

    You will need to remove the bottom of the computer to get access to the inside of the socket. I would first try to make a repair using epoxy resin glue before looking for a replacement part unless the socket is soldered directly to a board, in which case a new socket may be needed.
