MacBook (2009) charge port replacement?

[user1690]

Hey guys,

Thought i'd get myself a newer model macbook from eBay,

Although it has some faults that i believe are repair-able but i cant find realiable instructions for one of the parts that need repaired/replaced.

The charge port, it works, but only sometimes and it requires alot of fiddling to get a connection, so i wish to replace the port altogether.

Its a 2009 model macbook with the supposedly non-replaceable battery. Im hoping i dont have to remove logic board, or worse, replace whole logic board.

Any help/info is greatly appreciated

You'd have to replace the logic board to get a new Magsafe port.
