Have you considered doing away with the socket, and hard-wiring a cable in to the supply - soldering it where the socket connections would otherwise be soldered? If you do this, you will need to fabricate a socket-sized strain release mechanism.

Won't the laptop maker supply a spare, or is the maker's name on the socket?
