Hi!
Great instructions for the disassembly.
I’m trying to change the power socket for a new one and I would like to know how much long the wire has to be, first of buying it. Thank you!

TY TY fixed myself for 7$
Should the new Power Jack look exactly the same as the manufacturer one? My original Power Jack has prongs but the new one does not and the laptop will not power on.
Does this require soldering as well ?
I would not rate this as a difficult task and I managed to complete the dismantle and reassemble within the 45 Minutes, Overall a pretty good description. The hardest bit was reattaching the wifi wires. I found I did not need tweezers and used a small electrical flat head instead of a spudge. No soldering or other tools. Having bought a new battery and charger (circa $50) the replacement part ($5) and this guide solved the issue. @gifts.fromgod my part was not identical (colour and size of the mid wire join) but fitted more or less and works a charm.
