You did say the DC jack is a bit loose. I found a replacement DC jack here: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a... and a video showing the dissasembly of the laptop, which seems to get far enough as the DC jack is exposed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vfoUkIa... at 2:48 in the video, you can see the red wire.

I have the DC jack shown with an orange box and the cable has a red arrow pointing to it.

I’m guessing you’ll have to remove the ribbon cable to do that. right here is a guide on disconnecting ribbon cables:
