The laptop power connector has broken (collapsed), this caused smoke and a shortage killing off the mains connector, it maybe just a fuse for the mains connector but it's a sealed plug. The main issue is how do I replace the laptops power input connector. That's the part where you connect the power to.

It is replaceable and reparable on a component level. However the fact there was smoke from the plug. You may have further board damage and need a new AC adapter. There could easily be internal as well as external fuse/s blown other stuff also potentially!?!

I think this is the part you need it doesn’t need soldering skills to replace. Assuming the other one is broken and not just pushed into the housing, it’s possible yours just needs fixing back into place. I’ll see if I can find a teardown .

Sorry for the late reply, would you believe my 20 year old tv decided to die today.
Ok. Tomorrow I will see if another kettle lead will give power to the converter, can't think of the name.
If that works the I won't need new leads.
But still need to replace the laptop power input connector. I've an Alienware M18 r1 and a quick look on the Internet didn't show the part, so if you've any idea where to look.
Next I need step by step instructions or video, do you think any soldering is involved as this is something I don't yet have.
Thanks Martyn

This might be useful for the teardown.
Maybe think about getting using hot glue gun to use to help keep it in place.

Many thanks, for your help I've only just got round to doing this and apart from me shaking all went well the new power port is installed and charging. 🎉
