The good news is that they are VERY rarely unique parts. Much more
likely you will find a standard part at Mouser, Digi-Key, etc that
exactly matches the part you're looking at.

Thanks, Searched Mouser, Digi-Key, CPC, Farnell, Maplin, RS, Rapid -
Nothing. The PCB mounting base pin configuration of the jack is 90
degrees to standard types. :-(

Oh well, looks like I may have to bodge it inverting the socket, strands
of connecting wire and lashings of super glue for strength. Nice fire
hazard at 19V/6Amps if the fuse holds out. Would be interested if other
laptop motherboard repairers go to such lengths on Mitac junk....
