I have an Acer Aspire S7 and the DC power socket is goosed so I looked
up the part on ebay and it is only £4.50. However, the youtube video on
fitting it lasted 50 minutes so I took it to a repair man who said the
job would take HIM about 1.5 hours.

What a palaver for such a simple part - still he'll only charge me £20.

That'll be 40 minutes to undo all the screws and prise the case open, 10
minutes to change the part and 40 minutes to put the bugger back
together again.

I have done that job on multiple Lenovo laptops. Yes, can take up to an
hour, although I'm getting faster!

(well, only two. But the same one three times, and the other one twice.
Son is careless with them)
