    power block connector is what plugs into the laptop. the motherboard connector is in the laptop.

    i think it might cost as much for new motherboard as it would for new laptop but check with acer & maybe other sources like ebay to make certain. other possibility is to replace motherboard connector with a new 1 that still fits power block connector.
