After looking at that port for your power connector, This is your best option.

just make sure the part numbers match before you purchase

Yes, but it is very expensive. I can buy new laptop at that price. You think it is unrepairable?

 

[Joe C]

I dunno....
You'll have to get all that old solder off and out of around that port, replace it with a new port and see if it works (personally I think you toasted this board) Why is there a red wire in there? it probably damaged other parts when it shorted out. If you can not de-solder and solder then take it into to somebody that can. I think your wasting your $$$ on attempting to fix this board

Thing looks like it caught fire.

laptops that catch fire are normally toast. If this was me i would try to solder the charger directly to the board and if that didn't work I would strip the laptop down. This is a great video that shows you some great things to do with old laptops.

There are really no pros except that it would get the laptop working,also i am somewhat skilled with a soldering iron so that would not be that hard, the only reason i would do that is if there were no other options. The cons are obvious,resulting in your charger being permanently attached. I would have to look at the laptop to see if this was possible,but so long as the contacts were somewhat useable i might be able to pull it off of course, if the laptop was something i wouldn't want to use,i would only sell it i would not try to sell it like that i would most likely just strip it down.

EDIT: As for how i would do this i would cut the end off of the charger and then solder it to the contacts on the motherboard

EDIT:Your laptop doesn't happen to have a USB-C port does it?

No dont have usb-c, but charger have 2 cables and on Board (charging connectors) IS 6 soldered connectors.
