This computer's power jack is does not work.

My daughter says it can get power briefly if she wiggles it a lot.

I've tried to take it apart but can't figure out how to get the two halves
to release.

I did get it open enough to see that the molded brackets holding the jack
had broken allowing the jack to slide back into the case when attempting to
insert the power plug.  I wedged some paper behind the jack to prevent it
from retreating but still no power.

I believe that the jack has probably broken one of its power leads and needs
to be re-soldered.

Any recommendations as to where/who I can turn to would be greatly
appreciated.
