Cannot get DC Jack off mobo

[BAD311]

Hey guys, I've tried this twice now... I've desoldered the DC Jack, removed as much solder as possible with a solder sucker (two different ones), and I still cannot get the DC jack to remove. It was never broken in the first place (well, not where it mounts to the mobo, just inside the jack was messed up)... So now I need to get a jack off that doesn't wanna come off... Any tips? ideas? I've tried warming up all the pins as fast as possible and prying it out, it will not come. Thanks guys.

BTW, it's a DC Jack on a Gateway MP6954 laptop.

Be careful applying too much heat to the board, it can cause the traces to lift off the board.
Couple tips:
Make sure the tip is tinned well. If the solder does not melt the second the iron touches it , the tip needs cleaning.
Apply more solder . I know that seems the opposite of what you want , but what it does is bond with any remaining solder and allow you to pull it all out at once.
Flux - Flux is what makes solder flow. You can buy it most places that sell solder. Make sure it is not the acid based kind for plumbing. Apply it and the solder should flow well.
Ttoenail clippers, I know it sounds odd, but they are cheap and work well. The reason I use them is because they can cut things very very close where a normal wire cutter cannot. Cut any pins that come out of the jack and go into the board, they are acting as a heat sink for when you try to desolder.

After doing the above you should be able to heat the pin and pull it out.

I've been able to remove tons of solder by adding more. The problem though is pulling the solder out of the hole that is past the layers of motherboard... The solder is on the DC jack side, and I cannot gain any access to that side whatsoever. Tips there?

Thanks about the toe nail clipper tip, I'll remember that one!

Your best bet will probably be to heat up one pin at a time and to pry on the jack nearest to the pin, continuing onto the other pins in sequence. Its best to leave the jack soldered in this approach, as it will transfer the heat to the via much better.

haha, he said "jack off". Sorry, couldn't resist. One should reconnect with their adolescent side every once in a great while or one begins to act too old and stuffy.
