Hello,
Im Hoping that some knowledgable person can help me solve the problem on my sons HP G6000 Laptop, you see he stupidly dragged the power lead out when the laptop was connected to the printer and the pin that charges the battery has snapper off, and we can no longer charge his battery or indeed, use the power supply to use the laptop!!! We have tried a couple of shops for advice but they all say they cant repair it or it wouldcost hundreds!! I just wondered if anybody knew of a way of either powering the laptop up without having to use the battery , or by using another laptop , or indeed whether this pin can be replaced so as we can again use the Laptop, its such a shame as it was his birthday present and he has hardly used it, although we have had it longer than the guarantee allows, but I cannont see the shop paying for a repair that was through neglect on our behalf! so please please any help or ideas to try would be very gladly appreciated, this may be a long shot and it might just be beyond repair but heres hoping its not .!!
Thanking you, and anxiously awaiting any replys

This is actually remarkably easy to fix.

Go to this site and find the right repair kit. (Select the right model number - the model number can be found on the bottom of the laptop)
https://www.dcpowerjacks.net/

They're under $10 for the most part.

If you feel confident to replace it yourself, I'm sure you can find some instructions online, or just have at it. It's just a few screws. You'll have to remove the battery to get at the screws you want to remove, then use a small flat head screw driver to pop off the plastic piece above the keyboard (you can see the seam between the plastic pieces.) If it won't budge, you haven't gotten the screws out. Flip over and look for more. It's very easy to fix, I've fixed mine before.

If you don't feel confident dismantling the laptop to replace it, you can bring it to a repair place - all they will need to do is remove a few screws, literally pull out the old jack (like you'd pull a plug from a socket) and pop the new one in. Put the screws back in, and that's it.

It is literally a 20 minute job. It does not cost hundreds of dollars to repair or replace.

Think of computer shops like car shops - they will take advantage of anyone who will let them. Go in there knowing what you're talking about, bring them the part, and you'd be surprised how much you can bargain with them.

I've bargained for $30 hinge replacement (I brought the parts) which was quoted as $250. So don't always believe quoted prices.

You need part no. DA0AT8TB8F2. This is the DC socket for G6000 , F500 etc,. Search on ebay you can buy this for less than £40.00 and + fixing would cost 25-40 depending upon the repair shop.
