Turbo Express internal power plug (female)

[ifkz]

One of my Turbo Express units has always been on battery power due to a ripped out power jack plug internally (female).  Does anyone have the specifications of a replacement part?  It is a part that should only cost a few cents.  My (lame-o) forum searches turned up zero results.

You rock Keith Courage, and I think your game is a-okay with me too.

I had some time and a new official TurboExpress AC adapter to use (my first!) so I got to work.

First pic:  Old internal power plug removal, or what was left of it. I had to take an exact-o knife and cut a square out of the rubberized glue they used which was covering the vias.  My sunglasses added for scale, see the cleaned out vias on the far upper right.


New part soldered in, you can see the sound cap fix wires, and (maybe) the screen cap fix too:
