Dell Chromebook 11 3180 3189 uses a very special power jack connector, the power jack is soldering to a iron cover, people have to replace the whole part when the jack is broken/burnt, this is the correct part: https://www.dcincable.com/xnj46-0xnj46-c..., remember not to move the laptop while charging the battery, a good habit can make the laptop working longer.
On the dell 3180 non Chromebook variant You don't have to remove the hole motherboard just finesse it out and replace the part.
I usually skip most all of this and start with the bezel, disconnecting the screen wire AT THE SCREEN, and not at the motherboard. 4 screws around the bezel, and 4 screws in the screen. Leave everything connected and skip to step 12.
