I'm planning to replace the power jack of my Medion Erazer x6821 laptop because it doesn't charge anymore. I'm trying to replace it by unsoldering the old one and soldering the new one back in.
Unfortunately, my laptop model isn't that popular and it's hard to find specific parts. But there are parts available of other models (like the x6812, x6813) that looks exactly like mine, so does the power jacks.
So my question is:
Is it okay to solder a power jack on a motherboard of another model which looks exactly the same? And also, it's my first time soldering on a motherboard, so are there other things I need to be careful about?
