Laptop Power/DC Jack Broken or Misplaced

[Antic DEATH]

Hello Mr and Mrs Technicians!

My cousin somehow broke or placed a lot of pressure on the DC jack/port/hole/connector on his laptop, which made it shifted deeper into the hole. It's so deep that I can't apply pressure on it or adjust the charger so it will reach it. I tried shaking it down but to no avail, it didn't produce any sound which means it's still in contact with the motherboard and I think its a cabble-type DC Jack since it can be misplaced /loosen even still being intact with the motherboard. I tried to fix it via the DC Jack hole (Since it will eventually be sent to a professional technician soon which will cost more money) by moving the cube with a hole and a jack in the middle so it will face the hole (Since I heard a springy noise which lead me to thinking that this DC jack may come back up to the hole. (Still no avail).
I know I can buy an affordable DC Jack on EBay or other Online Marketing Websites but well I'm 15. I'm tight in money, and I'm pretty sure disassembling and reasassembling a laptop for an amateur like me without 1000x precautions would lead me to pretty much, failure and more things to fix. Help me!

Its a Lenovo laptop, That's all I know D:
Sorry.

You seem like you already know the position you're in: go for a cheap jack and take it upon yourself to fix, or take it to someone that knows how to fix it, but face a bigger bill. If that jack is in fact soldered to the main board (rather than connected by a cable, or even attached to a daughter board), then you'll probably need to take it to somebody that can do soldering jobs.

P.S. What are cousins for? 😛

My aunt sent it to a shop to be handled by a professional (I think so),
And they said that it's beyond repair or just too pricey to repair.
Should I take it back and take the initiative to fix it myself? DC Jack, Solder boom boom.?

Totally your call, Antic. It's possible they don't do soldering work. Some technicians don't have the gear and know how. You can seek out a second opinion, or try it yourself.
