I've got an Asus A53E laptop where the DC power jack soldered onto the motherboard has died (sibling killed it by not being careful). If I could replace it the laptop would be working again. I've got a replacement part and the whole laptop disassembled but I can't get the 5-pin jack desoldered from the motherboard with just my Weller 15W soldering iron.
Is there any place online which would accept small motherboard repair jobs for not too much money, or an easy/inexpensive way to repair this? Or would it be better just to sell the laptop for parts/not working?
Example of what I am talking about, but is not worth $69 to me to repair:
