I thought it was going to be a little bit more difficult than it was . I got it done in about 15-20 minutes. Thanks to this.

Do you guys sell these replacement DC Ports or know where to find them? (I work for a school, but the students keep breaking things! I need, like, 25 of these… yep, it’s that bad. Even found a literal nest of cockroaches inside one of them. I still have the picture/video of it for the morbidly curious lol.)
