Im pretty sure its a fairly Generic power socket, but how are you going to get it off the board? You may need to un-solder it and solder in the new one (LOTS OF WORK) and If you screw something up you may lose part of your board :|

Wow, I just ordered a 9 and I'll have to check that out. If so that's a first that I know of, being a plug in, not solder on connector. Good thinking on Dell's part!
I've replaced several charge ports on laptops, I get them off Ebay at a fraction of buying them at any online site, let alone from the manufacturer.
