I'd like to help, but I'll be honest: I wouldn't count on getting much assistance in this forum.

If I understand correctly, you're asking to buy a replacement for the power socket on the laptop. First, do you know if it's removable from the motherboard? If it's soldered on, you're stuck.

And if it isn't, it could be proprietary -- it's not as though shops keep power connectors for specific HP laptops hanging around 'just in case.'

There may be companies that specialize in repairing laptops that would have the part or could otherwise fix things for you, but I couldn't name any off-hand.

Can you resolder it?

Did it just detach from the board or is there a piece missing from it? like the little small piece of metal inside the female part?

Where are you located?
