Oh well, looks like I may have to bodge it inverting the socket, strands

I would suggest two-part epoxy and insulated multistrand wire. Super
glue (cyanoacrylates) doesn't fill voids and can't be used to provide
lateral support; it merely bonds contacting surfaces.

hazard at 19V/6Amps if the fuse holds out. Would be interested if other

Officially, there is no component-level repair on this type of
electronics, only replacement at the subassy level.
