Replacing HDMI port on a laptop

[billyboy]

We have a Dell Inspiron N7010 in at present with a bad hdmi jack. It seems the customer has damaged the port somehow and a pin is bent in there.

Is there any way to replace this? We do DC jacks here and they look similar its just finding the part, I cant find any jacks for it.

Any help is much appreciated

You can easily replace just about anything except for large package and BGA stuff. I do all ports all the time. Your gonna have to compare the port to whatever is out there and find a match.

What I do is save every motherboard that ever comes in here, either dead boards from a replacement or from parting out a laptop. I then take clear photos of both sides and keep them on a computer here with ZoomBrowser which is a quick viewer for my cannon cameras. When I need a part I take the board in front of me and then start up the image browser and go through all the motherboards looking for a match. When I find one I go the box its stored in and pull it and then remove that part and put it on the board I am working on.

This makes it very easy for me to find parts on motherboards without having to handle them and I can zoom into the pictures to compare details.

Of course you have to build up a base of dead boards, but I recommend it for anyone who is getting serious in the part of the repair business.

Brilliant and simple! Just gonna have to find some space to store more derelict computer bits as I'm in a rather small place at the moment. (everything in the UK is tiny!)

No problem. I've gotten quite a few different USB ports from them to fix various laptops. Never done a HDMI one yet.
