Need to replace female dc charging port.

Hello, I had the same issue with mine, and after scouring the internet I found the CORRECT replacement DJ jack part via an Aliexpress seller. I had to order 4 different jacks, 2 different times, but finally the 6 month search ended with the right part.

In case that seller link dies, you can source out your own by searching “Sony DC power jack” and the part/model number is “DC-022”. Good Luck!

Im planing to solder another type of female and male connectors direct to board but still use my DC charger.

I got the DC Power Port/Jack on Alibaba. It’s a Sony, and it’s black in color. Here is the part description and number: DC POWER JACK CHARGING SOCKET PLUG PORT FOR SONY VAIO PCG-8L3L PCG-8L4L PCG-8L5L PCG-954A The store front name on Alibaba is: “Glcome Store” Hope that helps someone! Axle
