What do *you* do when a power socket on an electronic device develops a fault?

Mhm of course you rip it out, remove the plug, solder the wires onto the board (never mind that you now have a 1kg power block hanging off the 1kg computer; that's manageable), and secure them in the hole with #BluTak. It's the perfect strain relief, right?
