The new jack is too long and if you install it as is the laptop cover will not sit properly on the base. It happens because one of the speakers (in Satellite L305D) is located very close to the power jack.

Again, using the pocket knife remove the plastic wall surrounding the mounting hole. Make the hole larger, so then new jack fits in.

On the picture below you see plastic supports removed.

Using a pocket knife remove plastic supports from the internal side of the base assembly, so the side where the new jack will be mounted is flat.

All these power adapter will fit perfectly into the jack from RadioShack.

All laptops mentioned above come with one of the following AC adapter: 19v-3.42A, 19V-3.95A, 19V-4.74A or 19V-6.3A.

Here’s my new replacement panel-mount jack which should last for a long time unlike the original Toshiba jack.

In my case both, the power jack and mounting brackets on the base assembly got broken. Even if you replace the broken jack with a new one, it will not stay attached to the base. If you send a laptop with a damage like that to a repair shop, they will recommend replacing the power jack harness and laptop base. This repair will easily cost over $200 but I have a better idea how to fix it for $3 without replacing the base assembly.

Why the power jack feels loose? You see the answer on the picture below.

OK, let’s say the top cover is removed and we are inside the laptop. By the way, I’m fixing a Satellite L305D laptop.

Disassembly steps for all above mentioned models will be very similar.

In order to access and repair the power jack it’s necessary to disassemble the laptop and remove the top cover assembly (palm rest). Here’s an example of from a Toshiba Satellite L355D, you’ll have to follow steps 1-14.

Proceed on your own risk! If you do something wrong, you can damage the laptop.

The RadioShack part number is 274-1576. This jack is designed for tip size 5.5mm O.D.x2.5mm I.D. You can order this jack online or pick it up in a local store.

I will replace the original plastic jack with a generic metal jack purchased at RadioShack for about $3.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION. The power jack gets pushed into the laptop base so it feels loose.

I have a list of compatible models (reported by users) at the end of this post.

Also this power jack modification should work for the following models: Toshiba Satellite L300, L305D, L355D, P305, P305D, Toshiba Satellite Pro L300, L350 and probably some other Toshiba laptops.
