Thanks for the link.

I've heard about those jacks, but never seen them before.

We found the article about the same time then. The first computer I repaired this way was my own Toshiba L305D...only took about 30 minutes to complete. Sense then I've made more than a dozen repairs to various Toshiba laptops and at HPs using this method.

I just don't think I could look a client in the face if I fixed this issue with a tube of epoxy...especially when a means exist to do it better.

I agree with you, you are better off fitting a panel mount than epoxy, if you ever have a problem with the DC jack you may struggle to repair it a second time round, I always look at it this way, would you be happy with someone fixing with epoxy or replacing the jack .
