I need advice for where/who to go to for a cheap laptop power jack repair on an HP laptop.
I'm wondering if anyone here in the Reddit Austin community can help me switch out a power jack on my HP laptop. Or if you know somewhere that won't charge a lot of money to do it.

If you have a replacement jack already & just need somebody to do the soldering I can probably help with that.
If you want a reference I fixed a laptop power jack for another austin redditor 5 months ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/Austin/comments/3aqhcd/desoldering_and_soldering_help/
Edit: haha seriously who downvotes someone offering help for free?
I don't have the proper screwdriver to remove the laptop shell. Do you happen to have that?
Possibly, if you know what kind of screw it is or can take a picture of it I can tell you for sure. As long as it's not some proprietary screw I probably have the bit for it.
my 6 year old HP laptop has just annoying easily strippable Phillips head screws. It's annoying as shit to get open. (Mine is the kind that was recalled a couple times. Might have experience with it, but it's doable)
