Solder wick and a 40W iron works well to clear the thru-holes also and
then you just put the new jack in and resolder.. Be sure on the Athlon
boards to solder the trace on the top side as this is where the
positive connects on this revision. Mouser.com or digi-key for the
2.5mm jacks.

Be extremely careful that you get the right jack.
I replaced one on a toshiba. Replacement jack plugged right into the
board. Only problem was that the connector pin order was reversed.
had to super glue it upside down and wire it in.

Be absotively posilutely certain that the power plug pins map to the
correct board traces. All sockets are not constructed the same.
